Houston police said officers were chasing a white Camry, believed to have been stolen, after the driver allegedly stole from a Kroger on the Beltway near Sabo in southeast Houston.
Police tried to stop the Camry around 6:20 a.m., and that's when the driver fled.
The high-speed chase ended when the driver crashed into a pickup truck on the I-45 southbound feeder lanes near Clear Lake City Boulevard.
SkyEye video from above the scene showed the suspect being loaded into an ambulance on a gurney.
The white Camry was completely smashed. The front end of the pickup truck also sustained significant damage.
It was unclear if anyone besides the suspect was injured.
