A car landed on the roof of Boulder’s Greenbriar Inn early Thursday morning after a high-speed chase with the Colorado State Patrol, according to Trooper Heather Cobler.
Around 12:20 a.m., an officer saw a silver Audi traveling above the posted speed limit, heading southbound at U.S. 36 at Nelson Road, Cobler said.
Authorities identified the driver as 18-year-old Sam Powers, of Boulder.
As the officer attempted to catch the car, Powers increased his speed to an estimated 90 mph, said Cobler. Powers lost control and ran off the road and left the ground as the car traveled over a berm. The Audi landed partly on the roof and wall of the Greenbriar Inn, and took a 5-foot by 2-foot chunk out of the wall, Cobler said.
