Drunk Driver Pursuit in Fort Worth Ends with a Crash
Two people are still in Fort Worth hospitals after being hit by a suspected drunken driver who was running from police while they were walking in the Fort Worth Entertainment District on Saturday night. 29-year-old Andrew Michael Guerra is facing charges after allegedly hitting another vehicle and the pedestrians while trying to get away. Fort Worth police say they first spotted a gray pickup truck with no headlights driving the wrong way down a one-way street shortly after 10 p.m. "The truck eventually figured that out, backed up and almost struck the parked police car," said Spencer. When the driver took off, cops lit him up, and the chase was on. Guerra took off at high speeds through the busy West 7th Entertainment District through a parking lot at a high speed, then the wrong way down Fox Street and onto West 7th at speeds touching 75 miles per hour. Along the way, he struck curbs and just missed other vehicles. The pick-up popped over a curb into a bank parking lot and hit a pole, blowing out his left front tire. "That did not stop the driver who kept driving back westbound on West 7th Street, basically on the rims, and eventually drove right through the intersection at University and West 7th," said Sgt. Spencer. "He had to drive around stopped traffic, struck a traffic sign pole and went through the intersection and then struck a car and two pedestrians who were crossing the street on the far side of the intersection." A man and woman were taken to hospitals with serious injuries. Police were able to arrest Guerra, who lives in Grand Prairie, after the crash. |

Regarding the audible message on the police car's computer system "Your incident has been updated:" The computer voice is that of an effeminate sounding man with a lisp. If I was the cop, I would have selected a sexy female voice with a French accent, but that is just me. |
