SULPHUR, La. (KPLC) – A high-speed chase that started in Sulphur Saturday night ended with a crash in Southeast Texas that killed two people, according to police.<\/p>\n
Sulphur Police said an officer tried to stop a 2014 Mercedes around 9:15 p.m. on North Huntington Street near Pearl Street after the car was seen speeding. <\/p>\n
Police said the driver did not stop and sped away, leading officers onto I-10 and I-210.<\/p>\n
Police said speeds reached as high as 130 miles per hour as the car headed west on I-10 toward the Vinton area. <\/p>\n
In the construction zone, police said the driver passed cars on the shoulder and hit traffic cones before crossing the Sabine River into Texas.<\/p>\n
Police said the car later left the interstate in Texas. A short time later, a tire blew out, the driver lost control, and the car hit a guardrail before leaving the road and ending up in Adams Bayou.<\/p>\n
Because of where the car ended up, police said officers could not reach it right away and did not see anyone get out. <\/p>\n
After the car was recovered from the bayou, police said two people were found dead inside \u2014 an adult white male driver and an adult Black male passenger.<\/p>\n
Police said investigators are working to confirm their identities and notify relatives. <\/p>\n
The crash remains under investigation.<\/p>\n
