A Harris County Sheriff’s deputy was injured during a chase in northeast Harris County.
It all started around 1am when the deputy spotted a driver speeding on FM 2100 and gave chase, reaching speeds of up to 90 MPH. They traveled through the Indian Shores Subdivision then back out onto FM 2100.
When the suspect failed to make a sharp turn near the intersection of Miller Wilson Road and Clara Wilson Road, his vehicle launched across the ditch and wound on a sod farm.
The deputy who was following the car was unable to stop and ended up ramming his patrol vehicle nose down in a ditch. He went to the hospital in a patrol car, complaining of a sore back and knee.
Miraculously, the deputy missed some power lines and a pole only five feet away.
The suspect was transported to LBJ Hospital with neck and back pain. Investigators say the car he was driving was stolen.
