Woman's body found in vehicle following pursuit

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Officials say Highway Patrol troopers found the body of a woman in a vehicle they eventually stopped on the interstate in western South Dakota after a pursuit that reached speeds of more than 100 miles per hour.

Authorities say the driver, a 30-year-old California man, was arrested after he tried running from the vehicle after it came to a stop along I-90 in Rapid City Monday.

Attorney General Marty Jackley said Tuesday his office is conducting an investigation into the woman's death. A trooper tried stopping the speeding vehicle on I-90 near Spearfish about noon on New Year's Day.
