3 Young Teens Killed in High Speed Police Chase

Three young teenagers were killed after crashing into a tree during a high-speed police chase in Spring, Texas.

On January 2nd, deputies found a vehicle flagged as stolen by their license plate scanner. The deputy attempted to pull the vehicle over but was quickly pulled into a high-speed police chase.

The vehicle, which was full of 6 teenagers, all between 14 and 15 years old tried running from the police but the chase was tragically ended shortly after it began. The vehicle slammed into a tree after reaching speeds as high as 90 mph.

The driver and 2 others were killed, and the remaining 3 teenagers in the vehicle were hospitalized in critical condition.

Investigators are continuing to piece together the scene but have recovered some items.

“There were some masks recovered from the scene. They did have some screwdrivers and hammers in their possession,” HCSO Maj. John Nanny told said. “At this point, it’s all preliminary, so we don’t really know what they were out doing.”
