Deputies with the Beaver County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle north of Beaver, where the vehicle fled once again. The car crossed over into wrong-way traffic in the northbound lanes near milepost 105 of I-15. However, the vehicle was off the shoulder of the road, out of traffic, police say.

Lt. Roden says a UHP trooper traveling northbound, along with a deputy, were then able to stop the suspect vehicle by pinning it off the road.

Police say the vehicle is stolen out of California.
