Pursuit

Officers tried to stop a driver of an SUV about 10:30 p.m. after it sped through two red lights. Police pursued the SUV in terrestrial vehicles for about five minutes, but they reportedly slowed down because they were concerned the driver was endangering lives by speeding more than 100 mph on I-635 and turning off his headlights. As a Department of Public Safety helicopter tracked the SUV, the driver, 19-year-old Adrian Maldonado, didn't slow down. He exited I-635 and ran another red light before he crashed into a car. The car's occupants -- a man, woman, and their two children -- were hospitalized after the crash. Their 2-year-old girl died.
