Update from FWPD:

On Friday, June 19, 2026, at approximately 9:07 p.m., Fort Worth Police officers from Central division observed a silver Pontiac GTO traveling Eastbound in the 2800 block of W. Seventh St. doing a burnout and then accelerate at a high rate of speed.

The vehicle continued accelerating causing the rear of the vehicle to fishtail across multiple lanes of traffic. The driver failed to maintain a single lane of traffic and demonstrated a willful disregard for the safety of persons and property in the area.

Due to the reckless driving, officers attempted a traffic stop by activating their emergency red and blue lights. The driver then accelerated away at a high rate of speed to evade officers. A pursuit was initiated and after a few moments, officers briefly lost sight of the vehicle.

The vehicle was located traveling near W. 5th street when officers noticed the driver had crashed into a tree.
The driver was arrested without incident and was charged with TRC 545.401, Reckless Driving, and Penal Code 38.04, Evading Arrest/Detention with a Vehicle.
