A situation is unfolding on the East Freeway, where there are at least two crashes following a high-speed chase with several suspects.
Investigators say over the course of nearly two hours, the suspects hit between eight and nine vehicles in all.
The Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office said the chase began Thursday night as a routine traffic stop near W. Mt. Houston at TC Jester.
Three suspects in a vehicle took off, according to deputies, leading them on a chase that covered every major freeway in Houston.
Throughout the chase, investigators said the suspects could be seen throwing items out of the vehicle.
At one point, a Houston Police officer crashed a cruiser at I-10 East eastbound near Holland Avenue/John Ralston Drive. There were no major injuries in that crash.
Before 9:30 p.m., the three suspects crashed their vehicle on the East Freeway. The suspects took off on foot, but were caught a short time later.
