A man attempting to flee from deputies was fatally struck by a Harris County Sheriff's Office patrol car after a high-speed chase around 10 p.m. Saturday in northeast Houston, according to the sheriff's office.

A Harris County constable from precinct 7 tried to pull over a vehicle just after 10 p.m. for speeding with no headlights on. Once the constable tried to pull over the vehicle, the driver increased their speed. Officials report the vehicle was traveling about 140 mph when it exited the freeway.
