MEDFORD, Ore. — A 75-year-old woman was arrested early Saturday morning after leading police on a high-speed chase on Interstate 5 from Merlin to Ashland.
Josephine County Sheriff's Office deputies clocked the car traveling at 112 mph on the interstate near Merlin just before midnight Friday. The driver failed to stop when deputies sounded their sirens, and when the woman passed into Jackson County, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office took over the chase.
During the pursuit, police spiked the woman's tires at least seven times, but she kept going, according to a post on the JCSO Facebook page. The woman drove without tires from Central Point to exit 14 in Ashland. At that point, police used a Pursuit Intervention Technique to stop the vehicle.

You can catch her all the time, just gettin’ her kicks now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
With her four speed stick and a four-two-six now
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
The guys come to race her from miles around
But she’ll give ‘em a length, then she’ll shut ‘em down
And everybody’s sayin’ that there’s nobody meaner than
The little old lady from Pasadena
She drives real fast and she drives real hard
She’s the terror of Colorado boulevard
It’s the little old lady from Pasadena
No, they bump the side of the rear of the vehicle to make it spin out.
It slows the perp vehicle down and with several cop vehicles they can some times pin the perp vehcle down so the chase stops.
That was WONDERFUL! Many thanks for looking up the lyrics.
Not your mom’s grandmother huh? lol
👍🎶

And they re still routinely putting down 320+mph passes. Nothing like watching Ashley Force putting down a 323 mph 4 second pass at Epping. Absolutely mind blowing.
I had a blowout on the freeway the other day. I installed the donut spare by the side of the road. The next day I drove to my favorite Hispanic tire shop. Got a fresh used tire mounted and the donut back under the van for $40. Cash. No receipt. A year ago it would have been $25. Am I part of the problem?
I was slowed down by the car ahead of me on a country road a few years ago. I was thinking “Who is this idiot?”. When I passed her I realized it was my 85 year old mother-in law! I did not recognize the car beforehand.
No, contrary to that stupid Congress Critter the other day, almost EVERYBODY in the US is cognizant of the concept, threat and practice of Inflation. [Except maybe Yellin’ and Powell]
To stay young, act young.

Nope, it was the joyless Reid.
She’s way smarter than any ‘Rat Congress Critter. But they would all agree with her.
From what I heard it was either that or slow down the cars, because at 1/4 mile they were getting too fast for the available shutdown at most tracks.
All I know is that her cartoons/memes always say what I’m thinking! Must be a, ‘Middle-Aged Woman Thang!’ :)
Muffled screams from the trunk could be either Husband and/or Children, depending upon the day.
Maybe the kidnapped Mother In Law? LOL!
