A driver made Nebraska state troopers sweat on Monday night after leading them on a high-speed chase that lasted about 16 minutes.

Authorities did not identify the driver because she is only 13 years old. Police eventually took her into protective custody along with a passenger in the vehicle, an 11-year-old boy.

State troopers, along with officers from the Shelton Police Department and the Buffalo County Sheriff’s Office, responded to the chase scene, according to a news release issued after a trooper was able to stop the children, who were driving down an interstate highway at dangerously high speeds.

The pursuit began at around 9:30 pm on Monday, January 16, when a state trooper saw a vehicle driving 35 miles per hour. The car, a Nissan Pathfinder, was headed east on Interstate 80. The trooper attempted to stop the car near Kearney, but the driver did not cooperate.

Instead of stopping, the driver fled at a high-speed.

According to the Nebraska State Patrol, the vehicle would at times reach speeds of over 100 miles per hour. A trooper deployed stop sticks at the 288-mile marker to slow the vehicle down.

The teen girl then exited at the Shelton interchange and started diving north, this time at a much slower speed.

Another trooper saw a chance to stop the Nissan and took it. He performed a tactical maneuver, forcing the vehicle to stop. He took the girl and her young passenger into protective custody without incident, according to a statement.

A search inside the vehicle revealed a gun, marijuana, and some drug gear.
