The driver and a passenger of a maroon pickup truck who drove into oncoming traffic at high speeds several times while leading police on a pursuit in Dallas County Wednesday have switched vehicles.
While on U.S. 175 near Elam the truck spun out and a second truck pulled up to a stop. Two people and a dog got out of the maroon truck, got into a gold-colored truck, and drove away.
The dog was left behind.
Texas Sky Ranger initially picked up the pursuit near U.S. Highway 175 in Seagoville and from there the driver worked toward Interstate 635 and Interstate 20, often driving erratically into oncoming traffic. The driver then went toward downtown before heading southeast toward Balch Springs.
Drivers in the area should use extreme caution.
Police have not said why the driver was initially being pursued.
From Texas Sky Ranger, the driver was being followed by at least one police vehicle and a police helicopter was overhead.
Last Thursday a driver led Dallas Police on a chase before switching vehicles and getting into a waiting SUV. The driver of the SUV stopped outside a daycare and two men ran inside. They were arrested by police a short time later.
