Andrew Michael Guerra in custody after striking pedestrians

Andrew Michael Guerra is now in police custody following a reckless pursuit through Fort Worth on Saturday night. It all started when officers noticed Guerra driving a gray pickup truck without headlights going the wrong way down a one-way street at around 10 p.m. as reported by FOX News.

Things escalated quickly as the truck backed up, narrowly missing a police car, and drove onto a curb. Despite pleas from a passenger to stop, Guerra sped off. This made many people suspicious of possible intoxication.

The chase became increasingly dangerous as Guerra's truck hit curbs, almost collided with other vehicles, and even jumped a curb into a bank parking lot, destroying the front left wheel against a pole. Despite being caught by the patrol unit, Guerra was undeterred and continued to flee and drove at tremendously high speeds in a residential area.

The situation turned tragic as the damaged vehicle struck a pole, a stationary car, and then two pedestrians—an adult male and an adult female—on the far side of an intersection. Guerra had to be extracted from the vehicle, and although suspicions of intoxication loomed, he refused a field sobriety test according to Fox 4 KDFW.

A female witness who preferred not to be identified shared the following with CBS News Texas:

"I just hear what sounded like an explosion, and then I look up past the building here and I see a bunch of smoke. I just see people running, so I run towards it. I see a woman on the sidewalk screaming that she’s in pain and that everything hurts. I see a man laid out."

The aftermath revealed that the two pedestrians, along with those inside the other car involved, were quickly taken to a nearby hospital. The pedestrians are reportedly in critical condition.
