SAN ANTONIO — State troopers arrested a driver early Saturday morning after a high-speed vehicle pursuit ended with a crash onto a runway at San Antonio International Airport, according to preliminary police radio transmissions.

A short time later, the fleeing vehicle crashed through a perimeter fence at San Antonio International Airport and came to a stop directly on the main runway.
Troopers took one individual into custody at gunpoint shortly after the crash. Emergency medical services were called to the scene to evaluate the driver.
