SAN ANTONIO – Three men are facing several charges after they led authorities on a high-speed chase in a stolen pickup truck and crashed it in a Starbucks parking lot, according to officials with the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Officials said first responders had to use the Jaws of Life to rescue two of the men from the wrecked truck. They were both taken to University Hospital in serious condition.

The chase began when a DPS helicopter spotted the stolen truck in south Bexar County around 12:40 a.m. Saturday; the truck eventually was driven into city limits, officials said.

Officials said when the truck traveled down West Hilderbrand Avenue, the driver somehow lost control and rolled the vehicle several times before landing in the Starbucks parking lot in the 2200 block of Fredericksburg Road.
