DPS officials have shed more light on the high-speed chase that culminated in an arrest in Alamo on Tuesday. The driver, Daniel Vasquez, is currently in custody facing multiple charges, including evading arrest and possession of a controlled substance.
Dramatic Chase from Mission to Alamo
The 22-year-old instigated a dramatic chase, leading troopers from Mission to Alamo in his green Chevy Camaro in just 10 minutes. Despite their attempts to intervene, Vasquez refused to pull over and accelerated instead.
Reckless Driving at Dangerous Speeds
During the pursuit, Vasquez reached reckless speeds of up to 150mph. He showed little regard for the ongoing construction works along the expressway, posing a significant risk to himself and other road users.
Joint Effort in Apprehension
The Hidalgo County Sheriff’s Office, Border Patrol, and Alamo PD collaborated in the pursuit and subsequent capture of Vasquez. Their combined efforts ensured a swift conclusion to the potentially deadly chase.
