After leading PSP on a multi-mile pursuit through Fulton County, the woman halted in Breezewood.

April 9, 2024 After reportedly passing an unmarked PSP vehicle in the right lane and leading them on a multi-mile pursuit, a West Virginia woman is currently being held in a Pennsylvanian jail. McKenzie Nicole Ledgerton was charged with two felonies of fleeing an officer, misdemeanor DUI, misdemeanor possession of marijuana, misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance, exceeding the speed limit by 54 mph, and failing to stop at a red light. She was sentenced to prison in Bedford County on an agreement with Fulton County.

Around 7:45 p.m. on April 8, PSP Troopers were on I-70WB when they reported seeing a red pickup truck approaching them quickly from behind. The pickup hesitated before passing them in the right lane while the troopers were driving an unmarked car at 75 mph in the left lane. PSP used emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop after the pickup veered back into the left lane at a speed of around 80 mph.

The red truck then reportedly picked up speed, reaching up to roughly 100 mph. As the car was approaching Breezewood at the intersection of I-70 and US-30, other troopers were able to break ahead of the pursuit and deploy spike strips over the roadway, successfully puncturing two of the car’s tires. However, the vehicle managed to drive through on its two surviving tires and then turned onto State Route 30, entering the Dollar General located on Lincoln Highway in Breezewood.
