SAN ANTONIO – The driver of a black pickup lost control Tuesday afternoon while allegedly fleeing from Texas DPS troopers, crashing into a home on the city’s Northwest Side. Orlando Moreno said the incident began when a trooper initiated a traffic stop near Culebra and I-10 for speeding. The driver then exceeded speeds of 100 mph while attempting to evade the trooper, Moreno said. The driver, who is a 19-year-old man was taken to the hospital, where he is expected to survive. Moreno said it’s unclear why the driver was speeding.

SAN ANTONIO – A suspected human smuggler is facing a list of charges after a chase and crash Thursday in south Bexar County. DPS troopers joined in the chase along Interstate 35 and followed the truck to south Bexar County. Troopers keep watch over passengers from the truck who are suspected undocumented immigrants. The trooper helped to drag the injured driver away from danger. “The other seven passengers in the vehicle are suspected to be undocumented immigrants and will be handed over to the border patrol,” Moreno said.

SAN ANTONIO – The driver of a truck hauling a utility trailer -- which had both been reported stolen -- led authorities on a chase Wednesday, causing three crashes involving innocent drivers, the Texas Department of Public Safety said. The 28-year-old man, whose name still hasn’t been released, refused to stop, according to investigators. He evaded the trooper at slow speeds through a neighborhood and caused the three aforementioned crashes, Moreno said. The suspect has been charged with evading arrest with a vehicle, reckless driving, theft and the unauthorized use of a vehicle. DPS was assisted by the San Antonio Police Department and its aircraft unit.
