100 mph chase on I-35E ends when suspect crashes into 18-wheeler
ELLIS COUNTY, Texas - 2 people are in the hospital after a high-speed chase through Dallas and into Ellis County.
Just after 11 p.m. Friday night the Dallas County Sheriff's Office (DSO) tried to pull over a dark sedan for traffic violations.
The driver didn't pull over and led law enforcement groups on a chase through several cities on I-35E with speeds topping 100 miles per hour. At times, the suspect would turn off the lights to their vehicle, according to DSO.
At one point, the vehicle hit another car on the I-35 service road and Wheatland Road and continued driving.
While in Ellis County, the suspect crashed into an 18-wheeler rolling onto its side. The semi also went off the road.
Air support told DSO the driver of the sedan had run into the woods on foot.
He was eventually arrested by police.
Both the suspect and the driver of the 18-wheeler were taken to the hospital.
The driver was identified as 26-year-old Jaylin Carroll. He was charged with two counts of accident involving damage to a vehicle, possession of more than two ounces of marijuana, avoiding arrest in a vehicle.
