HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man was taken into custody Thursday after leading Houston police on a chase from the Montrose area to Rice Village.

The chase started at about 11:30 a.m. in the 1600 block of Montrose Boulevard after police tried making contact with the man and he refused to stop.

Even after the suspect crashed with an HPD patrol unit, police said he still tried to run from officers who detained him.

Video from SkyEye shows a white Toyota Tundra damaged and the airbags deployed along University Boulevard.
