The car ran a red light and was traveling at a high rate of speed, and when the deputy attempted to stop the car, it traveled through Munfordville and got onto Interstate 65, the sheriff’s office said.
The car traveled at speeds exceeding 100 mph and turned its lights off and on in order to elude police, exiting I-65 at Sonora and striking another vehicle just off the exit ramp.
The driver ran from the scene and was not apprehended, the sheriff’s office said.
Jane’s Pharmacy was found to have a broken front door and a small amount of merchandise stolen.
Surveillance footage from four similar burglaries reported in Barren and Warren counties were found showed the same vehicle and three men involved, the sheriff’s office said.
The car was determined to have been stolen from Indiana on Sept. 23.
