HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A vehicle with four individuals trying to get away from police crashed out on the East Freeway Saturday, killing one person inside that vehicle.
This incident started at about 4 p.m. when deputies tried to pull the vehicle over for a traffic violation, deputies said. The driver refused to stop, which started a chase.
Officials said the vehicle was driving erratically, which forced deputies who were following it to retreat.
The vehicle kept going and eventually crashed into another vehicle in the 12000 block of East Freeway near Holland Avenue. Fortunately, no one in that other vehicle was injured, but one person in the suspect's vehicle was thrown out of the car due to the impact of the crash and died on scene.
The other three suspects got out of the vehicle and tried running away. Two were eventually caught. One remains on the run.
The two that were caught were taken to nearby hospitals with minor injuries.
As deputies investigated the crash scene, they learned the vehicle they were chasing was stolen.
Deputies are asking anyone who may know the whereabouts of the suspect on the run, to call 713-221-6000.
