11/12/2008 A police chase through Texas' northwest Harris County ended when the fleeing driver went the wrong-way on a freeway and collided with an SUV Wednesday.

The chase started in Jersey Village shortly before 2 p.m.

Police blocked off parts of the freeway to protect other drivers and prevent the fleeing driver from exiting the freeway.

The driver drove eastbound in the westbound lanes until he bumped into a vehicle traveling the correct direction, lost control and was hit by an oncoming SUV.

The fleeing driver's vehicle spun across the roadway and came to a stop for a moment.

The driver continued for a short while before he lost control again and ended up in a muddy ditch.

Police pulled the man out of the vehicle and took him into custody.

Investigators said the chase reached speeds of about 100 mph.

Detectives said they began chasing the man because he was allegedly breaking windows at a car dealership.
