On Sunday, February 25, 2024, at approximately 1:30 a.m., a Haltom City Police officer observed a black Mustang driving erratically on the 4000 block of Denton Highway. The officer attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but the vehicle failed to yield and continued to evade police.
The pursuit extended into Dallas, reaching speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour at times, and culminated in a collision with an SUV at the intersection of Continental Avenue and the IH-35 service road. The driver and passenger of the SUV sustained injuries and were transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The suspect vehicle, occupied by a driver and three passengers, came to a rest after the collision. All occupants were transported to local hospitals for treatment of serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Due to the individuals being minors, their identities and specific details of the incident cannot be released at this time.
The driver of the Mustang was released into the care of medical personnel for treatment. Out-of-custody charges are expected to include Evading Arrest in a Motor Vehicle, a felony offense. Once we have the results from the blood sample of the driver and know the full extent of the injuries of their victims, additional charges are anticipated.
The Haltom City Police Department remains committed to the safety of our community and will continue to investigate this incident thoroughly.
