Man arrested after leading chase with kids in car
During the chase, deputies say the suspect lost control at Ella and Kuykendhal.

A man is detained after deputies say he fled from authorities twice in one day with kids in the car.

Authorities say the Thursday afternoon chase ended in north Harris County at Ella and Kuykendahl.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, they attempted to stop the suspect's vehicle earlier in the day, but the suspect sped off. When troopers came into contact with the vehicle, the driver sped off again.

During the chase, troopers say the vehicle lost control and struck another car before coming to a stop at a gas station.

The driver of the car was detained and that's when authorities also learned two kids were in the vehicle.

DPS said the suspect, whose name has not been released, has five outstanding warrants.

No injuries were reported.
