LAYTON — A high-speed car chase on Interstate 15 ended with the driver being arrested for driving under the influence Thursday afternoon, according to Utah Highway Patrol.
Lt. Cam Roden with UHP said a Kaysville officer was attempting to conduct a traffic stop on a driver who was nearly hitting other vehicles. The vehicle also hit a center cement barrier and continued to drive away.
Police said traffic was slow as a UHP trooper successfully conducted a PIT maneuver on the vehicle.
As UHP troopers and the Kaysville officer attempted to call the driver out of the vehicle, Roden said the driver failed to respond to commands and drove off, striking the UHP patrol vehicle in the process.
Roden said the chase ended after the driver took the northbound Antelope Dr. off-ramp and T-boned a westbound vehicle at the intersection. UHP reported that no one was hurt during this chase.
According to a police affidavit, Jeffrey Keith Weigle, 37, was arrested on suspicion of failing to stop at the command of a police officer, reckless driving, failing to comply with duties at a vehicle accident, and driving under the influence – first offense in 10 years.
