PLATTSMOUTH - Officials are searching for a silver 2000s Jeep Cherokee that was involved in a pursuit early Monday morning that resulted in a deputy crashing a patrol car.

A Cass County Sheriff's Office press release says a deputy attempted a traffic stop near the intersection of highways 34 and 63, but the vehicle sped away as the deputy approached. Deputies again attempted to stop the vehicle near 310th Street and Church Road.

The press release says the Jeep Cherokee fled down dirt roads. Deputies pursued the car on back roads until the driver of one patrol car lost control and ended up in a ditch.

Louisville Rescue was paged to the scene to check on the deputy, but no serious injuries were sustained.

The suspect vehicle fled the area and Saunders County initiated a pursuit outside of Ashland, but was unable to stop the vehicle.

The Jeep Cherokee had no license plates and had flag stickers in a back window.
