The incident started at approximately 1:15 a.m. near 46th Street and Shadeland Avenue, when an officer spotted a sedan travelling at high speed. The officer attempted to pull the car over, but the driver continued south on Shadeland Avenue and then east on 34th Street before the officer called off the pursuit.
