According to Castle Hills police, officers had tried to initiate a traffic stop for a vehicle traveling without headlights. That’s when, police say, the truck, which contained two women and three dogs, sped off and refused to stop for police.
Authorities say the truck sped near downtown at North Main and Cypress where a passenger jumped out. Officers continued to follow, but the chase continued for roughly another hour before the truck was spiked by Bexar County deputies near Culebra Road and FM 1560, in West Bexar County.
Police said the vehicle crashed into a utility pole and the driver was detained there without incident. SAPD, also on the case, during their search never found the passenger.
CHPD did not give a name or age for the female driver. They did not specify what charges she now faces.
The dogs inside the truck were not harmed in the incident.
