Car chase starts in Bowie, ends in Alvord
A car chase that began in Bowie on June 22 stretched into neighboring Wise County, where one person was arrested and one fled the scene.
According to Department of Public Safety Public Information about 6:30 p.m. on Friday a passenger car with two occupants fled a trooper south on U.S. Highway 287 starting in Bowie. The car continued to flee multiple law enforcement units south on Hwy. 287 into the Alvord city limits where the vehicle crossed the center median across northbound traffic and went up the road embankment.
Both occupants fled the vehicle as it came to a stop and ran into the Alvord neighborhoods. The driver was arrested about 7:30 p.m. hiding in the back of a local vehicle.
The passenger remains at large as of Tuesday. He is described as a black male in his mid to early 20s, about 5-foot-10-inches to 6-foot tall, wearing blue jeans, white T-shirt and with short dark hair.
The DPS reports officers, with the help of security cameras, found a significant amount of marijuana hidden by the passenger during a search of the area.
Agencies assisting were the Texas Highway Patrol and Aircraft division, Wise County Sheriff’s office, Montague County Sheriff’s office, Texas Department of Criminal justice K-9 and Texas Game Wardens.
The incident is still under investigation and as of Tuesday no new information was available from the DPS.
One person went to the Bowie emergency room following this accident on U.S. Highway 81 and Applegate Road at 2:52 p.m. Wednesday. Department of Public Safety officers report a truck tractor tanker was north bound on Hwy 81 driven by Michael Logan, 57, Duncan, OK. A passenger car moved into the left lane to pass the truck and Logan reportedly tapped his brakes, that locked up causing him to jack-knife across the highway. As the tanker crossed into oncoming traffic a southbound Dodge Ram 2500 pickup driven by Bradley Werner, 49, Lavaca, AZ struck the tanker. Werner was transported by Bowie EMS to the ER with undisclosed injuries. Texas Department of Transportation crews arrived on the scene to assist while debris and vehicles were removed from the highway. (Photo by Barbara Green)
