Driver leads deputies on highway chase in Georgia

PERRY, Ga. - Middle Georgia authorities say a man has been charged after leading sheriff's deputies on a high-speed chase that ended on Interstate 75.

WMAZ-TV reports the chase happened Tuesday morning after Houston County deputies spotted a car that had been reported in a hit-and-run collision. Capt. Ronnie Harlow of the sheriff's office says the driver took off when deputies tried to stop him.

Harlow says 52-year-old Sean Seigle was arrested after a 10-minute chase at high speeds. He says Seigle is charged with felony fleeing and eluding an officer, and more charges could be added later.

It was not immediately known if Seigle had an attorney.
