A stolen Fort Worth ambulance led multiple law enforcement agencies on a roughly 190-mile pursuit into Austin Thursday morning before the suspect crashed and was fatally shot by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, authorities said.

The ambulance was reported stolen Wednesday night from Fort Worth Fire Department Station 4 in the 2900 block of Old Mansfield Road. The vehicle was spotted around 6:30 a.m. Thursday traveling on I-35 in Williamson County.

Texas State Troopers attempted to pull over the ambulance, but the driver refused to stop, prompting a pursuit. Troopers attempted to stop the ambulance by performing a PIT maneuver, but those attempts were unsuccessful, according to DPS.

The vehicle continued south on Interstate 35 before coming to an end on the upper deck near central Austin. DPS said the suspect began intentionally ramming multiple vehicles during the pursuit.

The suspect was shot during the incident and later pronounced dead. Authorities had not released the person’s identity as of Thursday morning.

The incident prompted the closure of a large stretch of southbound I-35. Austin police said the upper deck was closed because of an active law enforcement incident involving DPS. The Texas Department of Transportation said all southbound lanes from U.S. 183 to Airport Boulevard were closed, including both the upper and lower decks.

Drivers were urged to avoid the area and use alternate routes. The roadway was expected to remain closed for several hours while investigators processed the scene.

Austin-Travis County EMS responded to the scene at about 7:10 a.m. and transported an adult to a hospital with minor injuries, according to officials. Authorities had not immediately provided additional details about that person’s injuries.

Fort Worth Fire Department officials confirmed that one of the department’s ambulances was stolen overnight from Station 4, but the circumstances surrounding the theft have not been fully disclosed.

“We will release more information as we piece together the details of the incident with every agency involved,” the department said, per WFAA.

DPS did not immediately comment on what led to the shooting or how many people and civilian vehicles were involved in the incident.

The investigation remains ongoing, and The Dallas Express will update its readers as more information becomes available.
