Two arrested after high-speed chase ends in crash, police say

According to DPS officials, the pursuit began when the driver failed to stop for a state trooper, and attempted to evade him.

SAN ANTONIO — State authorities say an unidentified male and female were taken into custody after a high-speed chase involving law enforcement ended in a crash on Wurzbach Road just north of I-10 around 5 p.m. Thursday. 

No one was injured in the incident.

According to Department of Public Safety Spokesperson Orlando Moreno, DPS troopers attempted to stop a black Nissan Altima for an unspecified traffic violation in Medina Country. When the driver refused to stop, a chase ensued, snaking along US 90 and into the Alamo City via I-10 before exiting the highway. 

The chase came to an end when the suspect "struck four vehicles at an intersection" just outside an H-E-B in northwest San Antonio. 

The driver of the car, a 30-year-old man, was arrested for evading the state trooper. The passenger, a 34-year-old woman, was also taken into custody for "being in possession of fake currency."
