Four people were killed after the stolen car in which they were riding drove off a highway overpass in Dallas and burst into flames, authorities said.
Police were in pursuit of the vehicle at the time of the accident, which was shown via dashcam footage. The chase began in Irving, Texas, before its tragic end about 12 miles later near downtown Dallas.
According to NBC 5 News:
“Irving Police said officers spotted a stolen vehicle at about 2 a.m. and tried to stop the driver along the 3200 block of North Belt Line Road. Police said the driver refused to stop, instead leading officers on a chase into the Dallas city limits.
“The four people killed in the crash were identified as Sabria Lacey, DeAvion Aubert, Robert Gowans Jr., and Anthony Lisbon. They were all in their early 20s.”
Irving Police highlighted the stolen vehicle’s location on the Woodall Rodgers overpass, just before the car soared off the overpass and erupted into flames near the Continental Avenue exit.
Irving Police Spokesman Anthony Alexander called the whole thing a tragedy.
“The Irving Police Department is allowed to pursue stolen vehicles,” he said, via NBC 5. “Our officers are required to keep in mind the situation as they are in pursuit of a stolen vehicle. I will say that time goes fast. It seems like it goes fast in a pursuit. It’s their job to make sure they’re being safe at all times.”

Bad things happen when you run from police. Only one person they interviewed was an American, wouldn’t have thought that in Texas. This country has taken in enough people to last for the next 25 years enough is a enough.
