NASHVILLE, TN — Police arrested three teenagers early Wednesday morning following a high-speed cross-county car chase on Interstate 40 involving an allegedly stolen car.
Officers clocked a car going more than 100 mph on I-40 near Bellevue around 1 a.m. The car refused to pull over, according to police reports, and the chase continued all the way across the county until police were able to deploy spike strips at the Briley Parkway exit near the Nashville International Airport.
The car, which had been reported stolen, finally came to a stop with a flat tire shortly thereafter near the Donelson Pike exit.
