SUNOL -- A Placer County woman is in custody after leading California Highway Patrol officers on a harrowing high-speed chase from Yolo County, authorities said.
The 100-plus mile pursuit started at 9:10 a.m. Friday on westbound Interstate 80 near Reed Avenue in West Sacramento, where officers tried to pull over a green 2005 Ford Expedition for speeding, said CHP Officer Steve Creel. The driver, 44-year-old Jennifer Zinn of Granite Bay, refused to yield.
Speeds topped 100 mph as she led officers on a pursuit that traversed through Solano County and onto southbound I-680, where it crossed into Contra Costa County and eventually Alameda County, getting as far south as Auto Mall Parkway in Fremont.
That's where Zinn exited and got onto the northbound lanes, making it to Andrade Road near Highway 84 in Sunol when around 10:25 a.m. her car was stopped by CHP spike strips. <snip>Creel said Zinn's reason for fleeing police was not immediately clear and will likely be kept confidential unless other charges are presented that might speak to motive. more at link: http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_20138790/chp-involved-high-speed-chase-from-solano-county
