Transcripts
there you go done we got him
you see him right there there ahead of
him coming up coming up too high ten
here we've been following this for about
the past two minutes actually trying to
catch up with us what we understand this
is a Dodge Challenger and it is a
Hellcat 707 horsepower motor in this car
and obviously going way faster than the
speed limit here this is just outside
the Beltway on i-10 we are heading
eastbound now and probably about a
hundred miles an hour or so if not
faster
so I'm turning it down but done that
that vehicle is clearly going at least
in 110 miles an hour and and the police
are in pursuit of this and they lost him
for a while because he got so far out in
front of them but the tracker helped
them pinpoint exactly where he was and
so they narrowed their focus down and
this chase clearly using the feeder now
decide over there on the emergency
shoulder trying to get around all of
these cars we're out here at the San
Jacinto River heading eastbound on i-10
at a high rate of speed well for fear
that I will lose him I can tell you that
there were probably a dozen HPD cars in
pursuit and at one point they got ahead
of him because he had made a u-turn so
they were already there he passed them
and I do know that their sheriff's
deputies involved in this as well as the
APD chopper at least one of them in
pursuit with us up here with this chase
heading eastbound on i-10 how fast are
you going done
our current speed is about a hundred 110
so we're kind of keeping up with them
where that is any state troopers do you
see any state troopers around done
because clearly they're gonna have to
take control or at least get on this as
well because he is way outside of even
county boundaries isn't he yes and I
have not seen any state troopers yet Wow
we did he did pass a unmarked police
vehicle that had its lights on just a
moment ago okay
I'm not exactly sure what they plan on
doing and how to bring this to an end
sooner or later he's going to have to
get off the freeway
I assume well and you mentioned that
there is a police helicopter following
him have you been able to see any of the
officers in his wake I know for a little
while they lost him because he was so
far out in front Wow
he just sideswiped it looked like that
18-wheeler done we asked you a moment
ago you said you thought you were going
about a hundred and ten and you're
having trouble on oh we are
HPD is as well but thank goodness we've
got the doubler on our camera here so we
can take a picture of it in quite a
distance right yeah we remind the
audience that this is not maybe he's not
right on top of him aren't you know the
pilot he has this incredible zooming
lens that can go all the way into that
vehicle that it makes it appear that
we're right on top but we're having a
tough time keeping up with this guy and
to continue our conversation about our
speed I just checked with Mike's Hillman
who's at the controls of our sky eye
helicopter here we're currently doing
120 miles an hour and he is losing he is
losing us maximum speed right now but
we're gonna try to keep with him as long
as we can but obviously he still
continues to pull ahead we're going to
try to keep up with him as long as we
can well I think this is one of the
first times where the vehicle is
actually outrun the chopper I don't know
how other way to put it but I think
that's what's happening here because
it's it's tough to see him and and you
could see him right there on the far
left he's right there on the shoulder
right now passing that box truck the HPD
helicopter has had to pull off because
they were and he continues to move now
keep in mind this guy is traveling well
over 120 miles an hour at some point
because our chopper is traveling at a at
the top speed of 120 and we can't keep
up okay now on highway 73 headed to Port
Arthur already driving past Winnie and
he is I've you know what honestly I've
lost track of him he's somewhere over
there on the right-hand side and just
moving along at speeds that have been
incredibly fast at a hundred and thirty
possibly 140 at times and open stretches
as we look at these pictures as art says
he is so far out in front it's almost a
hard to keep up with him and especially
as he moves into this very heavily
wooded area there he's disappearing
behind the trees but we've kind of lost
him at this point because well he's
simply going too fast he really a speedy
helicopter has lost the guy
