(NBC/VNR) Sheriff's deputies in Santa Fe, New Mexico, arrested a naked woman Saturday morning after law enforcement said she crashed her car into a pickup truck during a high-speed pursuit.

Police received reports of a woman throwing items from a vehicle just before noon.

The driver, identified as Barbara Arellano, 51, did not pull over when deputies attempted a traffic stop.

Instead, authorities say she continued driving at speeds of nearly 100 mph.

Arellano is accused of crashing into a Ford F-150 while traveling through an intersection and fled from her vehicle naked before being apprehended by law enforcement.

She's been charged with one aggravated count of fleeing a law enforcement officer, as well as reckless driving, DWI and two counts of battery on a peace officer.

The driver of the truck declined to be transported to a local hospital by medics.
