Deputies tried to pull over a black Porsche Cayenne for a traffic violation, but the vehicle continued to drive southbound on the highway.

The driver “began driving recklessly” and reached speeds of 112 miles per hour, deputies said in a news release.

A deputy applied a tire-deflation device and the Porsche came to a stop. Several people fled from the vehicle and the Porsche started to drive off again on the highway.

The vehicle eventually stopped at a ranch, and the driver was taken into custody.

ZCSO identified the driver as Brito Hernandez Leosbel, of San Antonio.

He was charged with smuggling of persons-fleeing, authorities said.
