Summary
- Robbery suspects crashed two 18-wheelers while fleeing police.
- One suspect critically injured, trapped under truck wreckage.
- Suspects had jewelry and firearms when apprehended.
An armed robbery at a Pasadena pawn shop on Thursday morning concluded with a severe collision between two 18-wheelers on Houston's East Loop. Following the robbery, two suspects fled the scene in a white Nissan Altima. A Pasadena patrol officer spotted the vehicle, and as officers attempted to intervene, the suspects' car crashed into an 18-wheeler. The vehicle then went down an embankment, colliding with a second 18-wheeler and becoming pinned beneath it.
Emergency crews worked to extricate the critically injured driver from the wreckage, transporting him to a hospital. The passenger managed to escape the vehicle after the crash and was subsequently apprehended by Houston Police. Investigators recovered jewelry and firearms from the Altima, which will serve as evidence. No other injuries were reported in the incident.
