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.
