Carter Lake teen leads deputies on a chase through Mills/Montgomery County

Three teens were injured when their vehicle crashed in Montgomery County at the end of a chase Sunday morning, Oct. 27. According to a crash report from the Iowa State Patrol, the accident occurred near the intersection of Highway 34 and A Avenue at around 8:50 a.m.

The report stated a pickup driven by a 16-year-old Carter Lake juvenile was eastbound on 34 out of Glenwood, being pursued by a Mills County sheriff's deputy and a Glenwood Police officer. The pursuit continued into Montgomery County. As the vehicle approached A Avenue, the report read it attempted to turn left, but was traveling too fast, and lost control. The pickup entered a north ditch on Highway 34, struck a culvert and rolled before coming to rest on its top.

Three juveniles--a 17-year-old from Carter Lake and two 14-year-olds from Glenwood--were taken by Red Oak Rescue to Montgomery County Memorial Hospital. The accident remains under investigation.
