A Utah woman died in a car crash while fleeing a repossession agent, police said this week.

“I’ve never, in my 15 years of law enforcement, I’ve never seen a repo agent be this aggressive. I’ve never seen anything like it,” Pleasant Grove Police Lt. Britt Smith said, reported the Deseret News.

Ashleigh Holloway Best, 35, was estimated to be traveling at least 70 mph in a 35 mph zone when she hit a tree after 12 a.m. on Tuesday. She was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash after she was extricated from the vehicle.

The repo agent who was allegedly chasing her is 49-year-old On Demand Repos employee Kenneth Drew.

Drew was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of manslaughter, the Deseret News reported.
