Stolen Mustang leads police on 120+ mph chase

DAYTON, Ohio ( WDTN ) — A 16-year-old was arrested after a stolen car led troopers on a late July pursuit on I-75.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol released new details after a teen stole a Ford Mustang and led law enforcement on a chase. The incident occurred on July 25 around 3:15 a.m.

According to OSP’s Lebanon Post, a trooper initiated a traffic stop on the Mustang on I-75 in Monroe, but the vehicle refused to stop, prompting a pursuit.

The chase occurred in the southbound lanes of I-75, with the Mustang swerving between cars and trucks. The driver briefly exited onto Cincinnati Dayton Road before continuing back on the interstate.

OSP says the Mustang reached a top speed of 122 miles per hour.

The vehicle finally stopped near Seymour Avenue and Este Avenue in northern Cincinnati. Four occupants fled from the car.

Law enforcement established a perimeter and arrested a 16-year-old passenger, who was charged with receiving stolen property. The three other occupants were never found.

OSP was assisted by West Chester Police Department initially and then assisted by Cincinnati Police Department when a K-9 was requested for the perimeter.

The pursuit remains under investigation by OSP’s Lebanon Post.
