AURORA, Neb. (Lincoln Journal Star) — Two Lincoln men were arrested after trying to flee from state highway patrol troopers in a chase that reached 125 mph.
The Nebraska State Patrol says the chase began early Thursday when a trooper stopped a speeding car on Interstate 80 near Aurora.
The car took off as the trooper walked toward it.
A second trooper was able to deploy stop strips near York.
The patrol says the car hit construction cones, a guard rail and the back of a semi-trailer truck before it stopped.
Troopers reportedly found about 22 pounds of marijuana and more than $4,000 in cash in the car.
