This vehicle was awarded to the department following a felony investigation that was initiated after the driver of the Dodge engaged in dangerous street racing and fled from law enforcement at approximately 160 mph.– The Texas Department of Public Safety has added a new car to its fleet of Texas Highway Patrol vehicles — a 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye.
Officials said, around midnight on April 25, 2021, a DPS aircraft saw two similar vehicles speeding westbound on I-10 near Gessner Road at the same time that DPS Troopers were engaged in a multi-agency street racing task force. Relaying what they saw from the aircraft to law enforcement near the area, a DPS Trooper attempted to stop the Dodge when it fled from the officer.
Working with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, Troopers began the asset forfeiture process to seize the Dodge due to the egregious nature of this offense. On January 25, 2022, the Challenger was awarded to the State of Texas.
