On 3/13/14 at 1:14 A.M., officers were dispatched to a leaving the scene accident on I-70 eastbound at the 128.0 mile marker.  A witness reported seeing a white vehicle heading westbound on I-70, the vehicle then crossed through the cables into the eastbound lanes just east of the 128 mile marker.

On 3/13/14 at 1:32 A.M., a Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy observed the possible suspect vehicle of the leaving the scene accident on I-70 at Hospital Drive and Monk Drive.
