A high-speed law enforcement pursuit that apparently started in Johnson Creek and concluded at the Fort Atkinson city limits on Wednesday ended with both lanes along Highway 12 shut down for hours as authorities and UW Medflight were at the scene.
Just shortly after noon, authorities from the Wisconsin State Patrol and Fort Atkinson Police Department converged at the intersection of State Highway 26 and U.S. Highway 12 where the pursuit ended.
The chase, which involved state police, never entered the City of Fort Atkinsonâs jurisdiction.
State Patrol and Jefferson County Sheriffâs Office personnel were stationed at the highway by the bypass, with an ambulance nearby.
