A Harrisonburg man may have escaped serious injury, but he is in hot water with the law after he led authorities on a high-speed chase before crashing his car early this morning in downtown Broadway.

Broadway Police Chief Doug Miller reports that just after four o’clock, officers with Broadway and Timberville Police noticed a white Dodge Charger traveling in excess of 100 miles an hour and when officers tried to initiate a traffic stop, the vehicle fled and the chase ensued.

The driver, 33-year-old Eriberto Ruvalcaba, was airlifted to U-V-A Medical Center in Charlottesville where he is in stable condition.

He has been charged with three felonies, including D-U-I and eluding.
