An 18-year-old is facing felony fleeing to elude after involving three agencies in his pursuit on Saturday.

The driver, Grant Gardner’s flight from law enforcement reportedly began in Concord. 

A Rowan County Sheriff’s deputy was on I-85 when he noticed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed that matched a description of the vehicle Concord police were pursuing. 

The deputy followed the vehicle. The driver attempted to exit at Webb Road, then quickly merged back onto I-85 when the deputy attempted to initiate a traffic stop. 

The vehicle reportedly continued to flee. When Rowan County deputies lost sight of the vehicle, N.C. Highway Patrol was notified. 

Highway patrol located the vehicle and the driver began to flee again. Authorities followed him into Davidson County where the vehicle wrecked but continued until mile marker 86, where the driver pulled over. 

The vehicle was seized and Gardner was taken into custody.
