Highland Woman Injured After Stealing Pickup Truck

2/25/13 - A local woman is hospitalized after crashing a stolen pick-up truck in mid-Michigan. Isabella County Sheriff deputies say the 20-year-old Highland Township woman took the truck at about 10 o’clock Sunday night as it sat warming up outside a Union Township home. WSGW reports the truck's owner spotted the vehicle a short time later at a fast food restaurant on M-20 east of Mount Pleasant and called 9-1-1. The Highland woman then headed south on U-S 127 at speeds of over 100-miles an hour. Police say the woman lost control of the stolen truck near Shepherd, veered off the freeway, drove through a fence, went airborne and hit several trees before rolling over numerous times. The suspect, who was ejected from the truck, was taken to McLaren Central Michigan before being flown by helicopter to Saginaw's Covenant Medical Center. The extent of her injuries has yet to be released. (JK)
