HOUSTON — A 25-year-old man is hurt after a police chase with a stolen vehicle ended with the car crashing into the man’s house early Saturday morning, Houston police said.
The chase happened around 2 a.m. and ended at a home on Cotton Drive, which is off of Bingle Road just south of the Northwest Freeway.
The Houston Police Department said the chase started when officers noticed a stolen vehicle they had been looking for. HPD said a brief chase happened before officers attempted an approved stopping technique to try and end the chase. That’s when the driver of the reportedly stolen vehicle lost control and crashed into a nearby home. The suspect ran off but officers were able to take him into custody.
