Three people are dead and more than a dozen are hurt when a high speed police chase comes to a crashing halt.
This all started early Monday morning in Atascosa county, but it ended in east Bexar County.

Investigators say a Ford Excursion was packed with around 20 people, most believed to be illegal immigrants, reached speeds of 100-miles per hour. A police officer from the town of Natalia first spotted the SUV, and soon law officers from the Bexar County Sheriff’s Department and the San Antonio Police Department joined in.

Investigators say the chase ended on IH-10 east near Loop 1604 after the black Excursion blew a tire and flipped several times. A number of people were thrown from the SUV, including the three men who were killed. San Antonio Police say a few other illegal immigrants were able to crawl out of the wreck and took off running, but they were caught a short time later.

“We believe we identified the driver, we have him in custody, and we’ll follow up with what investigation needs to pertain to that person”, said SAPD Sgt. Gabe Trevino.

Investigators say none of the law officers involved in the chase did anything that would have caused the SUV to crash. So far, none of the people involved in the crash have been identified.
