CRANBERRY TWP — A Beaver Falls woman is facing a number of charges after leading police on a high-speed chase through Cranberry where she allegedly struck a construction vehicle and almost hit two people.

Amy Barr, 30, waived all charges to county court Friday, where she will be arraigned June 13.

According to police, Cranberry Township Police Officer Ed Horan was driving north on Powell Road shortly after 9 a.m. April 8 when he noticed a dark-colored Kia sedan, later determined to have been driven by Barr, passing him in the oncoming lane with an expired inspection sticker from 2014.

As he turned around to stop the vehicle, Horan realized the Kia had sped off southbound on Powell toward Freedom Road, according to the affidavit. Horan pursued the Kia as it approached a construction site at Powell Road and Valley View Drive where the road was restricted to one lane with alternating directions of travel in the single lane.

Horan said Barr failed to stop at a stop sign being held by a construction worker in the road and was close to hitting the worker. She sped through the work zone and sideswiped a work vehicle parked along the edge of the road, police said.
