A 13-year-old girl led state troopers on a high-speed chase, exceeding 100 mph, with an 11-year-old boy in the passenger seat, the Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) said.

“At approximately 9:35 p.m., a trooper observed an eastbound Nissan Pathfinder traveling on Interstate 80 at approximately 35 miles per hour. The trooper attempted a traffic stop near Kearney, at mile marker 276, but the vehicle accelerated and fled at a high rate of speed. The trooper initiated a pursuit,” according to a NSP news release.

“The vehicle reached speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour as it fled eastbound on I-80. Another trooper was able to successfully deploy stop sticks at mile marker 288 to slow the vehicle. The suspect vehicle then exited I-80 at the Shelton interchange and began traveling northbound at slower speeds.”

Not long after, the trooper successfully performed “a tactical vehicle intervention to bring the vehicle to a stop.”

The 13-year-old girl and 11-year-old boy were both “placed in protective custody” without further incident, authorities said. While questioning the pair, investigators learned that they’re both from Colorado. How they came to be in Nebraska with a vehicle in their possession is unclear.

NSP troopers found a firearm, a “small amount” of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia inside the SUV, authorities said.

The 13-year-old driver was cited for flight to avoid arrest, willful reckless driving, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations, NBC News reported. The 10-year-old passenger was cited for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of drug paraphernalia.
