Naked Woman Leads Michigan Troopers on 100 MPH Chase

A 48-year-old woman with a Georgia driver’s license may have been highly motivated to lead Michigan State Police on 25-mile chase that reached speeds of more than 100 mph Saturday morning: She was stark naked, according to media reports. The — apparently — clothing-optional pursuit began in Buena Vista Township in Saginaw Township and ended a county away. Police didn’t reveal the time of the incident.

The chase started after troopers got a report of a vehicle with Georgia plates weaving in and out of southbound Interstate 75 traffic, State Police told WWJ News Radio and the Associated Press. The woman wasn’t physically injured when troopers forced her vehicle into a ditch, where it hit a utility police, the reports said.

But State Police said she was transported to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

“As troopers went up to the vehicle, they observed a large, naked female behind the steering wheel,” State Police Lt. David Kaiser told WWJ. “This female was assisted from the vehicle and later taken by ambulance to a hospital for an evaluation.”

Police are as yet unable to explain her unclothed state.

Kaiser told the AP she may have been naked due to “a drug-related incident or a medical condition.”
