Iowa patrol: Man led chase before car left road

DES MOINES — Authorities said a man leading a car chase in central Iowa reached speeds of more than 100 mph before his vehicle flew off the road and into an auto auction lot.

Sgt. Joel Ehler of the Iowa State Patrol says a trooper was pursuing the vehicle Wednesday near Waukee when the car increased its speed to more than 100 mph while passing other cars. The car flew off a highway ramp before entering a ditch and landing in an auto auction lot.
