SEATTLE — An unusual pursuit over the weekend inspired state troopers to take drastic measures. The unusual part? The driver was in a golf cart.
According to Trooper Rick Johnson, a “female in distress” led police on a short pursuit in the golf cart. When the driver tried to get on the highway in the wrong direction, a trooper used a PIT maneuver.
Johnson shared a photo of a Club Car on its side.
“First time in my 30 years we had a short golf cart pursuit,” Johnson wrote on Twitter. “Minor injuries and the trooper prevented her from causing serious injuries to herself and others.”
Johnson said the driver was taken to the hospital for an involuntary evaluation. Police didn’t say how the driver came by the golf cart.
