Temple Police Car Struck by a Fleeing Suspect on Airport Road

Around 2:30 PM Wednesday, a Temple police officer attempted to pull over a speeding vehicle when a person got out with his hands raised, claiming to have suffered a gunshot wound.

While the officer was checking on that person, the vehicle that had been pulled over sped away. That officer put out a description of the vehicle that was later spotted in the area of Airport Road and Twin Oaks. When another officer attempted to stop the suspect's, car the two vehicles collided.
