Authorities are searching for a suspect who escaped after a crash during a pursuit\u00a0involving ICE agents Saturday morning <\/a>near Veterans Memorial Drive in northwest Houston, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pursuit began around 6:30 a.m. in Montgomery County, after sheriff’s deputies received an alert that federal agents were following the suspect’s vehicle, HCSO Major Al Blendermann told KHOU 11<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About 10 minutes later, near Fallbrook and Veterans Memorial Drive, the suspect crashed into another vehicle, causing it to flip over. The suspect then ran into a nearby wooded area and has not been tracked\u00a0down.<\/p>\n

A passenger was inside the suspect’s vehicle at the time of the crash. Both the female passenger and the driver of the other\u00a0vehicle received medical attention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The other driver suffered minor injuries. The passenger however declined to be taken to the hospital and instead left on her own, Blendermann told KHOU.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deputies brought in a K-9 unit to assist with the search but lost the suspect’s scent shortly afterward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lt. Shannon Bowdoin told KHOU 11 that an ICE agent suffered an injury to the wrist while attempting to break the suspect’s car window at a different location. ICE agents had a removal order for the suspect, Bowdoin said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The sheriff’s department said it is filing two charges including failure to stop and render aid against the suspect. It remains unclear what charges federal authorities may pursue.<\/p>\n

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities are searching for a suspect who escaped after a crash during a pursuit\u00a0involving ICE agents Saturday morning…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420468,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[56,58,57],"class_list":["post-420467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420467","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420467"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420467\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420468"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420467"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420467"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420467"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
