A chase suspect hit and killed a woman waiting for a bus Wednesday, and authorities said the driver kept going before crashing elsewhere in north Harris County.
The fatal crash stemmed from a chase that started at about 2:15 p.m. involving the Montgomery County Gulf Coast Violent Offenders Task Force and 43-year-old Joseph Jebbia, who’s wanted for an aggravated assault warrant out of Montgomery County, authorities said.
Deputies tried pulling Jebbia over, but he took off. The chase went on, leading law enforcement into the Houston area, and it was at the North Freeway and West Road where Jebbia allegedly caused a tragic chain reaction.
Lt. Scott Spencer with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Jebbia ran a red light, hit another vehicle, and then proceeded to hit the woman who was waiting at the bus stop. Despite hitting the woman, Spencer said Jebbia continued leading the pursuit until he crashed on State Highway 249 and Smiling Wood Lane.
Only ABC13 obtained surveillance video from a nearby gas station showing the moment Jebbia flew down Highway 249, hit a car, and spun into the intersection.
