As the deputy was knocked down into another lane of travel, the driver accelerated into the rear of a Dodge Ram that had stopped in traffic. She backed up and pulled forward, accelerating over the median into the westbound lanes, police said.
Once the driver cleared the intersection, she returned to the eastbound lanes until she reached the area of the 610 Car Wash, police said. The car crashed, and the driver and a juvenile passenger abandoned the car near the car wash and fled into the woods toward Highpointe Boulevard.
