MYRTLE BEACH — A 21-year-old man told Myrtle Beach police his girlfriend chased him down U.S. 17 Bypass and rammed her vehicle into his after an argument at her home about her missing car keys, according to a police report.

The victim told police that about 4:45 a.m. Tuesday he left his girlfriend’s home near North Myrtle Beach and was driving along U.S. 17 near 82nd Avenue North when she drove up next to him and tried to run him off the road, police said.

The victim said the 18-year-old woman stopped her vehicle in front of his, so he stopped and then she backed up toward him, according to the report.

The victim said he tried to avoid her vehicle, but she backed into his vehicle, which belongs to his father.

The victim said the woman drove through the median and left, so he continued to drive down U.S. 17 to get away from her, according to the report.

The man said his vehicle stopped near U.S. 501 and he called police.
