Deputy: VW Clocked At 115 Mph On Interstate 25

LITTLETON, Colo. (AP) ― A 27-year-old man is being held on $10,000 bond in the Arapahoe County Jail after allegedly speeding up Interstate 25 in a Volkswagen Beetle.

An Arapahoe County sheriff's deputy arrested Nathan Hurlbirt on Monday after the deputy said he was clocked driving 115 mph.

The deputy attempted to pull over the vehicle, but said he abandoned the pursuit when the driver wouldn't stop. The deputy found the VW crashed on an offramp a few minutes later and saw the suspected driver running through a nearby parking lot.

Hurlbirt and a passenger were taken to a hospital to be examined but were released with no injuries.

Hurlbirt was booked into jail on suspicion of driving under the influence, driving under restraint, reckless driving and vehicular eluding.

The year of the car was not immediately available from sheriff's officials late Tuesday.
