Hays County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested a Kyle teenager after a short car chase Tuesday afternoon resulted in a two-car collision in San Marcos.
The sheriff’s office said motorcycle deputies initiated a traffic stop Tuesday afternoon on a black Mercedes traveling at a high rate of speed on southbound Interstate 35. Officials said the vehicle exited I-35 onto the access road in San Marcos while maintaining speed over 70 mph. After the vehicle stopped, HCSO said the driver did not comply with deputies’ instructions and fled the scene, proceeding to deliberately steer the vehicle toward one of the deputies.
Officials said the Mercedes stopped again following a short pursuit. HCSO deputies gave the driver commands to exit the vehicle but they didn’t comply. The driver then put the vehicle into reverse and sped away on Long Street with deputies in pursuit, officials said.
