Woman charged with DWI after Fort Worth police chase ends in rollover crash

A police chase with a suspected drunk driver ended in a rollover crash in Fort Worth Wednesday afternoon.

The chase started just after 4:30 p.m. when a Tarrant County Sheriff's Office Sergeant noticed an SUV parked on the side on Highway 183 near River Park Drive with the driver side window shattered.

The sergeant spoke to the driver, 38-year-old Nikki Davis, who showed signs that she was intoxicated and drove away in the middle of the conversation.

The sergeant then chased Davis who crashed her SUV along I-30 and University Boulevard.
