(Council Bluffs, IA) -- A man who Council Bluffs Police say was going 150 miles per hour when he hit a pickup truck in August, turns himself in.
CBPD says the morning of August 21st a Dodge Challenger, driven by 20 year old Evaristo Javier Garcia, was going 150 miles per hour in a 70 MPH zone on I-29 when he hit a Chevy S-10 pickup truck, causing both vehicles to lose control and crash. The woman driving the truck, 51 year old Dorothy Drelicharz, had to be life-flighted to an area hospital due to her injuries.
