HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – A burglary suspect eluding a security officer during a chase died Sunday after colliding with another vehicle in northwest Harris County, authorities said.
The chase started around 6:20 a.m. in the 300 block of Lantana Heights Drive when the security officer who encountered someone in a silver truck he suspected may have been attempting to burglarize a business began following the suspect vehicle to get its license plate number.
During the chase, the burglary suspect drove the wrong way down a road, ran a red light and struck a white truck in the intersection of Cypress North Houston and Greenhouse Roads, said Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
