Man Ignores Police Warnings, Speeds To Hospital To Be With Wife

GRAND COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) - A man from Texas is in trouble in Grand County for speeding to the hospital.

Last Wednesday Floyd Price, 39, called 911. He said his wife was in a snowmobiling accident near Grand Lake and was being flown to Denver. Price then told dispatchers he was going to race down to be with her.

Police said Price ignored the warning from dispatchers and drove up to 90 mph with four children in the car. Police tried to stop Price, but there was too much traffic.

Officers finally arrested Price on Berthoud Pass for investigation of eluding, reckless driving and obstructing police.
