HALTOM CITY, Texas — Multiple people have been transported to the hospital after a police chase involving two speeding vehicles ended in crashes, according to the Haltom City Police Department.
On Friday, June 23, around 4:40 a.m., a Haltom City patrol officer spotted a Kia Soul and Kia Optima traveling east in the 5400 block of East Belknap at over 70 miles per hour.
The officer attempted a traffic stop on both vehicles, but the two drivers didn't stop.
Both vehicles continued east onto Baker Boulevard going more than 100 miles per hour and were seemingly working together to get away from the officers, police said.
