On Tuesday, September 2, 2025, at about 11:10 am, Troopers attempted to stop a vehicle speeding northbound on Beaver Main Street. The vehicle then entered I-15 northbound at a high rate of speed, leading troopers to initiate a pursuit. The suspect vehicle exited at exit 120 and re-entered the freeway going the wrong way, northbound in the southbound lanes. Troopers terminated the pursuit. The vehicle proceeded northbound to the I-70 junction, driving on the northbound shoulder in the southbound lanes at 50-70 mph. The vehicle then exited on I-70, re-entered I-15, and took the Cove Fort exit before proceeding back to I-15 southbound. The Beaver County Sheriff’s Office located the vehicle and began a pursuit southbound on I-15, a few miles south of the I-70 junction. South of Beaver, around mile marker 107, the suspect vehicle crossed into the northbound travel lanes, drove on the median shoulder, and then returned to the southbound side, continuing southbound for approximately one mile near mile marker 105. The vehicle then crossed all lanes of northbound travel and began driving on the far shoulder of the northbound lanes, still heading southbound at about 25-35 mph. While the Beaver County Sheriff was attempting to catch up to disable the vehicle, a Trooper was able to turn around at mile marker 102 and proceed northbound on I-15. The Trooper successfully pinned the vehicle at low speeds while it was off the road on the far shoulder, and the suspect was taken into custody. The vehicle was listed as stolen from California, and it had stolen plates that had not yet been reported.
