DENVER—A woman was shaken but unhurt after a wild, 75-mile ride at speeds over 100 mph that began when her brakes failed and her car accelerated out of control.

Police finally stopped the car on Interstate 70 in west Denver by getting a cruiser in front of it, slowing gently till their bumpers touched, then bringing both vehicles to a stop.

‘It had a mind of its own,’ 20-year-old Angel Eck said Sunday. The car ‘kept accelerating, and my foot wasn’t even down on the gas.’

Eck was westbound on I-70 in Limon Friday night when her 1997 Pontiac Sunfire began racing out of control. Nothing she tried would slow the car down.

She flipped on her hazard lights and dodged traffic while trying her cell phone, but she was out of her service area.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP)—A man fishing in Galveston Bay found a torso inside a suitcase floating in the water shortly before he spotted a plastic bag that contained a head, authorities said.

The body parts were discovered Sunday, about a mile from where another headless torso was discovered two years ago in a widely publicized case involving New York real estate heir Robert Durst, authorities said. Durst was tried for murder and was acquitted of the charge last month.

Officials believe the body found Sunday may be that of a missing person, said Galveston County sheriff’s detective Ray Tuttoilmondo.

“It is the torso of either a white or Hispanic male, about 30 to 40 years old,” he said.

Galveston County Commissioner Eddie Janek, who lives nearby, said it was deja vu as he watched police retrieve the body, which was wrapped in a plastic bag. He also witnessed officials remove the body of 71-year-old Morris Black from Galveston Bay in 2001.
