A license plate reader had flagged the SUV as stolen, deputies told KHOU, and when they tried to pull the vehicle over, it sped away. The vehicle reached speeds of 90 mph during the chase, deputies said. But about 40 seconds after the chase began, it ended with the stolen SUV slamming into a tree, the outlet reported.

Three teenagers are dead following a short chase in north Harris County, according to the sheriff's office. The deadly crash happened on Rolling Terrace Drive near Cypresswood Drive and Kuykendahl Road.
