Texas man flees scene after crashing car at 100 mph, leaving his critically injured family behind: police

Houston Police are searching for a man who crashed his car into a ditch at 100-mph and fled the scene, leaving behind his injured family.

The father was driving with his wife and four children when their SUV crashed into a pickup truck, according to reports from local outlets.

The Houston Police Department reported that the man’s Ford Expedition was recorded speeding on Yale Street. A Chevy Avalanche truck suddenly turned in front of the Expedition, causing a collision. As a result of the crash, the Expedition overturned with the family onboard, landing in a ditch.

While those in the pickup truck escaped injury, the SUV driver’s family members were taken to the hospital. Two individuals are in serious condition, while three others are in critical condition.

HPD says the driver of the Expedition ran following the accident and had another car pick him up.

Captain Ryan Watson expressed uncertainty about the driver’s motives, stating, “I have no idea what’s going through his mind at the time. I don’t know if there was some other reason that he felt he needed to flee.” The authorities are actively pursuing leads to understand the situation better and are seeking to interview the driver to gather more information.
