Carjacking Suspects Captured Following Police Chase

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) -- Two carjacking suspects are in custody following a short chase with Dallas Police early Thursday morning.

The chase began at approximately 12:38 a.m. when an officer attempted to stop a 2007 Ford Explorer on the Dallas North Tollway near Northwest Highway.

The driver elected not to stop, continuing north to Alpha Road. After exiting the tollway, the pursuit ended when the suspects vehicle struck a tree at Alpha Road and Greenview Drive in Farmers Branch.

The driver fled on foot following the crash, but was captured shortly after. Both the driver and passenger were transported to Parkland Hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

A subsequent check of the vehicle revealed it was stolen from Flower Mound.

The driver is facing charges of evading arrest, and additional charges may follow pending an investigation.
