An Odessa resident escaped with minor injuries Monday after a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper ran into them during a pursuit.
According to DPS, a state trooper tried to stop a 2019 Nissan for a traffic violation on Whitaker Avenue just after 11 a.m., but the driver refused to stop. The trooper started pursuing the Nissan, but ended up hitting an occupied parked vehicle and a fence in the 200 block of Casa Grande.
The person in the car was treated by Odessa EMS at the scene and released; the trooper wasn’t hurt, according to DPS.
DPS is working to confirm a possible identification of the suspect.
