For half an hour, Lori Ulvestad dodged in and out of traffic, at times veering off the road to avoid crashing. She say she noticed a problem when her SUV wouldn’t slow down or stop.

She called 911 in a panic and that’s when the Missouri Highway Patrol caught up with her. One patrol car managed to get in front of the car, one followed behind as to avoid collisions with other drivers.
