A midday police chase through Fort Worth ended with a car in a creek bed, a child left inside, and a driver on the run, authorities say. Troopers tried to stop a white Hyundai Elantra near New York Avenue and East Berry Street around 1:45 p.m., but the vehicle took off instead of pulling over, then wound up in a small creek bed. According to officials, the driver bailed out and ran off on foot, leaving the child behind. Officers later tracked down the suspect and took him into custody.
How the chase ended
As reported by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, troopers at the scene were assisted by the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office and the Fort Worth Police Department. The outlet identified the suspect as 30-year-old Trevion Mark of Fort Worth and noted that the child was taken to a nearby hospital with non‑incapacitating injuries before being released to a legal guardian. Officials said the investigation into both the crash and the pursuit remains active.
Charges and arrest
CBS Texas reports that the Texas Department of Public Safety says Mark was arrested nearby without incident and charged with reckless endangerment and evading arrest in a motor vehicle. According to the outlet, investigators are still working to determine why the driver fled and whether additional charges may be filed. Authorities have not released the child’s age or any other identifying details.
Custody and next steps
Local booking records show Mark was taken into custody and booked into the Tarrant County jail. The county’s detention bureau lists its main intake at the Tarrant County Corrections Center at 100 N. Lamar Street, according to the Tarrant County Detention Bureau. Court processing and any formal filings will move through the county system while investigators continue to collect evidence.
The Texas Department of Public Safety says the investigation is ongoing, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Officials have not released any additional information about the child’s condition beyond the earlier description of non‑incapacitating injuries.
