Nebraska State Police said the Harris County Sheriff's Office had alerted them on Friday that the car tied to the two was believed to be involved in a homicide and was traveling in Nebraska around 2:45 p.m. Within 15 minutes, troopers spotted the car and attempted a traffic stop before they say Tyler led them on a chase.
The car reached speeds upwards of 110 mph during the chase and after around nine miles, the Mazda they were in hit the back of a semi-truck and went off the road before hitting a tree near Aurora, Nebraska, NSP said.
Officials said Tyler was seriously injured in the crash, but is expected to survive.
According to NSP, the agency is working with HCSO to extradite Tyler once he is released from the hospital.
