BOISE -- Ada County Sheriff's deputies worked to stop a BMW driving more than 100 miles an hour on one of the busiest roads in the valley.

Officers first spotted the white BMW driving erratically on Old State Street, when officers tried to pull it over; they say the driver sped off toward Boise.

Because of high speeds and a potential danger to other drivers officers called off the pursuit.

Then they spotted the 46-year-old driver a short time later, once again driving dangerously.

This time officers used a spike strip to stop her, near the intersection of State Street and Eagle Road. That is when she drove head-on into an SUV, but fortunately, no one in that vehicle was hurt.

Police arrested Heidi Anne Laursen on charges of DUI and eluding or fleeing police. She is currently being held in the Ada County Jail.
