North Dakota – A high-speed pursuit on May 10, 2025, ended in an injury crash in Jamestown after a vehicle, attempting to flee from authorities, collided with another vehicle at an intersection.

At 7:50 a.m. on that morning, the North Dakota Highway Patrol (NDHP) responded to reports of a reckless driver traveling eastbound on Interstate 94 from Kidder County. The vehicle, a 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, was spotted near mile marker 242, traveling at speeds exceeding 100 mph. When the NDHP attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver accelerated and fled eastbound, continuing the pursuit until exiting the highway at mile marker 257.

As the vehicle entered the southwest area of Jamestown, the North Dakota Highway Patrol decided to terminate the chase. However, soon after, the Jamestown Police Department located the Monte Carlo and initiated another traffic stop. Shortly thereafter, the vehicle crashed at the intersection of 10th Street and 7th Avenue SE, striking a 2021 GMC Sierra 1500.

The driver of the Monte Carlo, an 18-year-old male from Bismarck, North Dakota, sustained injuries in the crash. Three juvenile passengers, a 16-year-old male, a 14-year-old female, and a 15-year-old male, were also injured, though all were wearing seatbelts at the time of the incident. The driver of the Sierra, a 30-year-old male from Jamestown, was treated for reported injuries but was not hospitalized.

Charges have been filed against the driver of the Monte Carlo, including fleeing law enforcement (1st offense), driving under the influence of drugs (minor 1st offense), and reckless endangerment, a class C felony.

The North Dakota Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation into the crash, and the names of the juvenile passengers will not be released.
