CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) - Cedar Rapids police have arrested a Hawaii woman after officials say she drove a stolen car from Illinois around a barricade at a deadly accident.

Police say Cheryl Rosenberg, of Paia, Hawaii, drove past two squad cars and officers who were directing traffic after the accident Sunday morning that killed a Cedar Rapids man. Police say Rosenberg stopped when she saw the wreck.

Officers checking her driver's license learned the car was reported stolen out of Quincy, Ill.

Rosenberg was jailed on suspicion of second-degree theft, driving with no insurance and failure to comply with a police order.

When asked why she didn't stop, police say Rosenberg said she wasn't "from around here."
