According to a DPS spokesperson, a trooper initiated a stop on a blue Dodge Charger driven by Dylan Mendez Ibarra, 35. Mendez, however, attempted to flee the scene.
The department said Ibarra evaded the trooper, lost control of the Charger, struck the trooper’s vehicle and crashed into a 2025 Mazda SUV before colliding with a concrete barrier. The driver of the Mazda SUV, a 64-year-old woman, was not injured in the crash, DPS said.
Authorities said they later arrested Ibarra and will charge him with evading in a motor vehicle and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. According to a DPS preliminary report, Ibarra also had two outstanding warrants unrelated to Tuesday’s arrest.
Troopers said their investigation remains ongoing.
