Tactical Unit deputies first initiated a traffic stop on Jacqueline Burge, 54, who was driving without a license, around 11:00 a.m. As deputies activated their emergency lights, Burge began to flee in the 2100 block of Edmondson Road in Nokomis, driving through a residential yard and eventually striking a deputy’s vehicle.

Deputies say that Burge continued to flee northbound on Albee Farm Road and eventually onto Laurel Road at speeds more than 70 MPH.

During the pursuit, Burge merged onto I-75 southbound and lost control of her vehicle several times before crashing into another deputy’s vehicle and continuing to flee northbound in the southbound lanes.
