Tense Moments In Lancaster County Pursuit

The Nebraska State Patrol says a man is in custody following a hit-and-run crash and chase.

They say a State Trooper was on patrol near I-80 and 27th Street in Lincoln Sunday afternoon when he saw what appeared to be two vehicles that had been involved in a crash.

The Patrol says the driver of one of the cars then got back in his vehicle and fled.

The suspect, 62-year-old Donald Roth, was arrested following a high-speed pursuit that ended when his car and the trooper's cruiser crashed into agriculture equipment in a Lancaster County field.
