Multiple emergency responders were called to the scene of a major accident just after 10:30AM this morning along eastbound I-20 near Campus Drive.
It was reported that a person was involved in a crash and then fled on foot, leaving the vehicle on the interstate. Multiple police from Fort Worth and Forest Hill PDs responded.
Officers engaged in a search and foot chase with the suspect in the Forest Hill area. Fort Worth PD’s Air-1 helicopter assisted with the search.
The suspect was eventually tracked down and caught by the Fort Worth Police Chief. A video from the Fort Worth PD Helicopter shows Chief Kraus taking the suspect into custody.
