Officers reported spotting the vehicle allegedly involved in a robbery, but before they could take action, the suspects tried fleeing but hit an 18-wheeler, spun out, and hit another big rig and became pinned under it.
Thursday, June 18, 2026 5:00PMA robbery in the Pasadena area ended with a crash involving two 18-wheelers and the alleged suspects' vehicle along Houston's East Loop, police said.
According to the Pasadena Police Department, officers were called about a robbery at a Cash America Pawn in the 500 block of Pasadena Blvd. They were told two suspects went into the business with guns and robbed the shop. Authorities managed to get a description of the suspect's vehicle, a white Altima, and began canvassing the area.
Officers reported spotting the car in the IH-10 and East Loop area, and before they could conduct a traffic stop, the suspects took evasive action. This, police said, led the suspects to hit an 18-wheeler, spin out of control, go down an embankment, and hit a second 18-wheeler and become pinned under it.
Police said the driver of the vehicle was trapped, and the second suspect took off on foot across the freeway, but authorities caught him a short time after. Due to the investigation, the IH-610 East Loop northbound exit to IH-10 East Freeway is closed, and authorities are urging drivers to find an alternate route.
