Armed carjacking ends when suspect crashes stolen car into a pool

A woman in Houston had her car stolen at gunpoint around 1 a.m. yesterday morning. She saw the suspects with her car two hours later and police took chase. 

The pursuit was brief and ended when the driver crashed the stolen vehicle into a residential backyard pool. 

Police found themselves in a predicament when the car crashed into a residential pool, fully submerging itself. The driver took off, leaving the passenger behind still trapped in the car. 

“The passenger of the carjacked vehicle was stuck inside the vehicle. Our deputies jumped in the pool and rescued him while the driver got away,” K.W. Cote of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told KTRK.

Here’s where things stand currently.
