Runaway SUV Stopped By KSP
KENTUCKY...
Kentucky State Police say a vehicle driven by a woman with two young children on board had to be stopped by a cruiser after traveling about 40 miles at high rates of speed on Interstate 64. The woman called for help from the vehicle, and police say she was given instructions to place the transmission of the Chevrolet Equinox in neutral or turn the ignition off but wasn't able to do either. Finally, a trooper got in front of her and, by slowing down his cruiser, was able to stop the SUV. There were no serious injuries. General Motors Co. spokesman Alan Adler said the woman agreed to let GM engineers inspect the vehicle a few days after the May 27 incident. Adler says there was an after-market mat on top of the vehicle's floor mat but that the vehicle's computer showed no trouble codes.
