AUSTIN (KXAN) — Residents in a small Central Austin neighborhood had an unexpected Monday morning when the sound of cars racing down the street followed by a crash caught the attention of the neighborhood.
A blue Toyota sedan traveling at high speeds had driven straight through the stop sign at the end of the road and crashed into the front yard of a house. According to multiple witnesses NewsNation local affiliate KXAN spoke with, the Toyota was being chased at high speeds by a white van and an SUV with blacked out windows.
