Two people were taken to the hospital Tuesday night after a car chase in Gregg County ended in a crash with Texas Department of Public Safety vehicles.

A DPS trooper attempted to pull over a driver on a traffic violation about 5 p.m. near Fritz Swanson and Goforth roads in Gregg County, according to DPS spokeswoman Jean Dark.

When the driver did not stop, the trooper followed the vehicle through several turns before the driver and two DPS patrol cars collided almost 20 minutes later near FM 1252 and CR 3104.

The driver and passenger of the vehicle had outstanding warrants and were taken to a Longview medical center with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Dark.
