Texas DPS requested assistance from HCSO as the vehicle McClure was driving was reported stolen from San Antonio. Deputies from HCSO arrived and attempted a traffic stop but McClure evaded the authorities and a nine-minute chase ensued.
The chase continued for about 14 miles, Harris County officials say, when McClure exited on Grand Parkway 99. Primary units weren't able to exit in time, so a second vehicle exited and continued on to the feeder.
A woman was going northbound on the feeder road at the 25500 block of Highway 249 at the 99 intersection in a Toyota 4Runner.
Authorities say McClure ran the red light at the intersection of Highway 99 and 249 and appeared to hit the Toyota on what appeared to be the driver's side. Court documents state McClure was operating the vehicle at 115 miles per hour.
