A Humvee plowed into a state patrol car trying to stop a wrong-way driver who then sped away from the scene on northbound I-25 early Wednesday.
The Humvee driver and a state trooper were injured near the Pikes Peak Racetrack in El Paso County. The wrong-way driver, who was traveling in a Honda, was eventually stopped and taken into custody by Fountain police officers.
The state patrol identified the suspect as Jennifer Elaine Bliss of Denver who faces charges of DUI, failing to yield and driving the wrong way, the patrol said. She wasn't injured.
Initially traveling south in the northbound, Bliss's Honda "turned around at mile marker 112 and was heading northbound in the northbound lanes when troopers caught up with the vehicle near mile marker 117," the patrol said. "A trooper attempted to stop the driver at this location, but the driver did not initially pull over."
She was arrested at mile marker 132 - a 20-mile chase.
