The Houston Police Department says multiple law enforcement officials were taken to the hospital following two separate crashes during an overnight pursuit.
Two Houston police officers and one Harris County Constable Precinct 1 deputy are expected to survive, according to an HPD sergeant.
“All of our officers are in good condition,” Sgt. Mike Barrow said. “They have minor injuries and possible broken bones.”
Barrow said the two crashes occurred as they were chasing four juvenile suspects in a stolen vehicle.
The first wreck involved a lone HPD unit that crashed and rolled over at West Little York Road and the North Freeway.
An HPD officer and Pct. 1 deputy then collided with one another in the intersection of West Mount Houston Road and the North Freeway.
“They literally met in the middle of the intersection,” Barrow explained.
The four suspects were eventually taken into custody in the same area as the crashes, according to investigators.
“They wrecked,” Barrow said of the four juvenile suspects. “Our officers were on top of it and arrested those suspects.”
The sergeant said some of those juveniles could have minor injuries, but was unsure of their current conditions.
