Hood Flies Open Mid-Chase, Challenger Driver Crashes in Texas


A wild police pursuit through Texas took an unexpected turn when a Dodge Challenger’s hood flew open during the chase, completely blocking the driver’s view. Troopers say the driver, Humberto Misael Garcia, kept driving blindly for miles before crashing.

 

Key Points

  • The Chase: Garcia hit 100 mph weaving through neighborhoods after exiting I-35.

  • The Mishap: Turning too fast, he hit a wall—causing the hood to spring up and obscure his view.

  • The Crash: Despite the blind drive, he ran a red light and T-boned another car before fleeing on foot.

The chase ended with troopers deploying a Taser. Four undocumented migrants were found in the car. Garcia faces charges including smuggling of persons, reckless driving, and evading arrest.
