When a witness told authorities the BMW fled at a high rate of speed, OSP troopers headed north from Eugene and two troopers headed south from Albany to try and find the SUV, a spokesman for Oregon State Police.

A trooper saw the vehicle driving northbound near milepost 225 and followed it for two miles before a second trooper was in position to attempt to make a traffic stop near milepost 228. At about 4:25 p.m., the troopers flashed their emergency lights, but the driver of the BMW failed to yield and took off at a speed in excess of 100 miles per hour, Hastings said.

The BMW was forced to slow in traffic, said Hastings, as it continued heading north through the Albany area along I-5. But is driver lost control at around 4:35 p.m., when he struck a guardrail near milepost 239 and hit a 2010 Acura MDX sport utility vehicle. Both vehicles came to rest in the right lane and on the right shoulder of the highway, flinging crash debris across the northbound lanes.

Two vehicles driving south also reported damaged after being hit by some of the debris, Hastings said.

The pair was lodged in Linn County Jail on charges that included, for Curry, a felony warrant out of Jackson County for parole violation, driving under the influence of intoxicants, felony attempt to elude, reckless driving, five counts of recklessly endangering another person, five counts of third-degree assault, second-degree criminal mischief, misdemeanor hit-and-run, providing false information to police and driving while suspended.

Tomburello faces her own two felony warrants out of Jackson County for failure to appear in court on charges of unlawful possession of methamphetamine and for furnishing false information to a police officer, in addition to a fresh charge of providing false information to a police officer.

The occupants of the Acura -- including driver, Michael D. Dodge, 44, passenger Anne E. Donovan, 44, and two boys, aged 10 and 5, all from Portland -- were taken by ground ambulance to Salem Hospital. The family members were treated for minor injuries and later released.

The afternoon crash temporarily blocked two lanes of traffic.
