One suspect is dead, two others are seriously injured, and two Dallas police officers are hospitalized following a high-speed chase that ended in a head-on collision early Friday, police said.
The incident began around 1:30 a.m. when Dallas police responded to an armed carjacking in the 9800 block of Dale Crest, where three men allegedly stole a Mustang, Fox 4 KDFW reported. Officers located the vehicle and observed the suspects stopping at a gas station. When police attempted to make arrests, the suspects fled, initiating a brief pursuit.
The chase ended when the suspects’ Mustang, traveling on the wrong side of Northwest Highway, collided head-on with a police SUV just north of Dallas Love Field Airport. One suspect died at the scene, while the other two were hospitalized in serious condition.
The two officers in the SUV were also taken to a nearby hospital. One officer sustained serious injuries, while the other’s injuries were described as non-life-threatening.
Authorities have not released the identities or ages of the suspects or the officers involved, nor have they provided specific details about the officers’ injuries. The investigation is ongoing.
