High-speed chase starting in Port Clinton, ending with Fremont crash left 3 injured
14-mile chase ends in head-on collision
Police investigations continue into a 14-mile high-speed vehicle chase July 10 from Port Clinton to Fremont that resulted in a head-on collision and three people hospitalized.
A Port Clinton police sergeant attempted to stop a red 2014 Hyundai Elantra after a city license plate recognition device flagged the 30-year-old female owner, from Dundee, Ohio, on July 10 at about 3 p.m. The vehicle fled and a pursuit at high speeds ensued, according to the Ohio Highway Patrol report.
“When it got onto U.S. 20, it got up to 80 or 90 (miles per hour). When it got around traffic, they slowed down and then sped up. I guess you could consider it high-speed,” Port Clinton Police Chief David Scott said in an interview.

Good news to end the week: Bike Safety Camp is growing
In its third year with the Park District of Ottawa County, Bike Safety Day has a new name and growing support.
What's now called Bike Safety Camp has increased backing from the community and for the campers.
“We received $3,000 from the Ottawa County Community Foundation for the needed bikes for our participants,” Wilson said. “We have around 44 students registered, and we had 12 that indicated a need, where their caregiver indicated that they did not have a bike that could be brought to the program or have one available, so that money will go directly to those bikes that are needed .”
While registration is closed, there are still some open afternoon spots for kids who already have bikes. Camp is open to children ages 7 to 12. Call the park district at 419-707-4051 to reserve one of the remaining spaces .
