On March 2, 2026, at approximately 4:38 p.m., Fort Worth Police officers were dispatched to a hit-and-run accident in the eastbound lanes of I30 near Horne Street.
The caller advised his vehicle was struck by another vehicle, and he was following the suspect vehicle because it failed to stop after the accident.
Officers eventually located the suspect vehicle near Camp Bowie Blvd and attempted to initiate a traffic stop. The driver failed to yield, and a brief pursuit ensued eastbound on Camp Bowie Boulevard.
It is believed the suspect struck a curb at the 3700 block of Camp Bowie Blvd, lost control of the vehicle, and then crashed into a tree.
