On Friday, July 12, 2024, at about 1:49 a.m., a Silver City Police Department officer observed a silver Ford F-150 traveling east on Highway 180 near Hatch Ford at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was also driving in an erratic manner and unable to maintain its lane. Attempting to conduct a traffic stop, the Ford pulled away from the pursuing officer reaching speeds of 80 mph, according to a SCPD incident report.
