Houston, TX : Two men are dead after a hit-and-run on Sunday, July 16, 2017

Two men are dead after a hit-and-run sparked a north Houston police chase that ended in a fiery wreck Sunday morning.
Officers were investigating a crash around 1 a.m. where one of the drivers fled without stopping to exchange information. Afterward, Houston police spotted a suspicious vehicle and tried to make a traffic stop near Crosstimbers and Airline.
Instead of pulling over, the truck sped away and sparked a high-speed pursuit, Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner of the Houston Police Department told reporters at the scene.
The chase started southbound on Interstate 45 before turning east onto the North Loop. After the suspects exited Irvington, they sped through two red lights and then crashed into a concrete pillar in the 1700 block of Kelley.
The truck burst into flames, and officers initially tried to douse the blaze but it was too late. Both the driver and a male passenger died at the scene.
"I would like to speak to the human element of this accident," Finner said. "In speaking to the officer - he's a two-year veteran - good officer, very emotional. People think that with our jobs sometimes we're just machines, but we're not. We're human beings. We have families just like everybody else."
