Catching up to the vehicle he observed the vehicle driving erratically and attempted a traffic stop on the vehicle in the area of King Road and U.S. 30. The vehicle then began driving at a high rate of speed fleeing from the officer. The vehicle drove through the intersection of Lincoln Highway and King Road where it crossed over the railroad tracks. The vehicle then suddenly stopped on King Road south of 10th Road.
