The weekend is over, and that means the Chron.com Froot Loop Bureau is back on the job, keeping a close eye on the TV news reports:
A 19-year-old man led police on a chase through north Houston Sunday night, according to KTRK (Channel 13).
Authorities gave a reporter this account: At around 10:45 p.m., police attempted to pull over the teen for speeding near 7800 Irvington, but the young man fled. Police then pursued the suspect as he drove along a residential street at speeds near 100 mph.
The suspect lost control of the vehicle after hitting the a curb near some railroad tracks and slammed into a telephone pole, splitting it in two. He was treated at the scene for minor injuries before being jailed.
Police say the suspect had no criminal record or warrants and aren’t sure why he fled. The car, a Chevrolet Impala, belongs to the teen’s mother.
KTRK news may not have won the latest sweeps period, but they’re tops with the Chron.com Froot Loop bureau!
