Authorities have released new details about a police pursuit of a stolen semi that tied up Interstate 90/94 near the Wisconsin Dells Friday afternoon.
The truck had been reported stolen out of Chippewa County and the chase started in Jackson County after people on the highway reported a semi without a trailer being driven erratically. Wisconsin State Patrol troopers put down spike strips three times flattening the truck’s tires, but the driver kept going, driving at highway speeds on just metal rims. The truck threw off sparks and leaked oil for a mile before catching fire and crashing. Troopers arrested the driver. A woman who was riding with him got out safely.
