CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office is searching for the driver who crashed into a Centennial gas pump and then took off.
The incident happened around 4 a.m. Thursday at the Conoco gas station located at 6450 South Broadway in Centennial.
The sheriff’s office said deputies first spotted the late-model purple Dodge Challenger heading northbound on S. Broadway at 90 mph. Deputies tried to stop the vehicle but the driver sped up — reaching speeds of more than 100 mph — and eluded authorities, according to the sheriff’s office.
Witnesses told investigators the Challenger tried to turn eastbound on E. Panama Drive when it hit a curb, lost control and collided with the gas pump, the sheriff’s office said. The driver then sped off.
