A woman who jumped out of the backseat of a moving Clark County sheriff’s patrol car on Interstate 5 is in critical condition, a spokesman for the Washington State Patrol said Tuesday.
The woman, identified as Sara Gottwig-Carr, was arrested Monday around noon on allegations of fourth-degree assault, domestic violence and interfering with a 911 call, sheriff’s officials said in a statement.
While she was handcuffed in the back of a deputy’s car, Gottwig-Carr undid her seat belt and jumped out of the rear passenger side window while the car was traveling at “freeway speeds,” according to the Sheriff’s Office. She jumped out at milepost 10 on the southbound side of the interstate near 199th Street in Vancouver, deputies said.
The deputy who was driving the car, identified as Deputy Billy Childers, was placed on critical incident leave. The Washington State Patrol will lead the investigation into what happened.
Trooper Will Flinn, a spokesman for the state patrol, declined to answer questions about how Gottwig-Carr managed to get out of the car, citing the ongoing investigation.
