Police say a car crashed and landed on top of a parked car in North Seattle after a high-speed chase.
Troopers say the pursuit began when an officer tried to pull over a woman who was going 90 mph on northbound I-5 at about 2:45 a.m. Friday morning, KIRO 7 reports.
The woman did not stop and accelerated to speeds in excess of 100 mph. At some point, she crossed all lanes of the freeway to get off on the Ravenna exit in the Roosevelt neighborhood.
When trooper saw she was exiting into a residential area, he ended the pursuit for safety reasons.
Shortly after exiting, the woman lost control of the car. It hit the curb, became airborne and landed on top of a parked car on Northeast Ravenna Boulevard.
The woman in her 20s was taken to the hospital as a precaution. She is believed to have been driving under the influence.
