An 18-year-old drove 100 miles an hour in and out of oncoming traffic in an attempt to elude police.

Late last night, a Tulsa Police Officer saw a 1999 Chevy Corvette speeding through an intersection near 71st and Lewis. Reports said the Officer initiated a traffic stop, but the driver, 18-year-old Eduardo Rodriguez, sped up, driving in and out of oncoming traffic with his headlights off.

Officers pulled back, and the Air Support Unit took over, tracking Rodriguez to a home near 77th and Harvard. Officers said the young man pulled the car into a garage and ran inside the home.

Rodriguez was booked into the Tulsa County Jail for Endangering Others while Eluding Officers.
