HOUSTON – Three people are critically hurt after authorities said two suspects leading officers in a chase caused a major crash in north Houston early Friday.
Houston police said it all started with a chase involving Humble Police shortly before 3 a.m. HPD later joined in.
According to investigators, the suspect who led the chase reportedly ran a red light on Ella Boulevard and Rankin Road, colliding with another vehicle.
Surveillance video from an area business shows the violent end of the chase.
As a result, 3 people were hurt. A 16-year-old was airlifted to the hospital after emergency crews extricated him from the vehicle, while the driver, 29, and a 14-year-old girl who was in the back seat were taken away by ambulance.
Police took two possible suspects in custody at the scene. Investigators said they found drugs inside the vehicle.
No other vehicles were involved.
Houston police said since the chase ended in a crash, they’ll be doing an internal investigation.
All three who were hurt went into surgery, according to Humble police. Their conditions are unknown at this time.
