Truck is disabled in Tarrant County, at least one hostage. Doesn't look good.

WFAA-TV
The truck was stopped on Interstate 20 in western Tarrant County. An armed man was holding a woman hostage Sunday night inside an 18-wheeler following a chase that lasted more than three hours through Collin, Dallas and Tarrant counties.

Shortly before the truck came to a stop at 7:35 p.m. on Interstate 20 in western Tarrant County, the man spoke with a WFAA-TV reporter from the cab. He said he had no intention of leaving the truck voluntarily and complained of inequalities facing black men.

Hostage negotiations began as the man appeared to take the woman in to the back of the truck, which stopped only after officers shot at the engine block and tires.


The chase began about 4 p.m. at a truck stop in the Collin County town of Fairview, where it was reported that a woman had been taken hostage.

The red big rig then went through Plano, Carrollton, and into central Dallas County and Oak Cliff, where the woman was seen at the wheel. More than 15 police vehicles were chasing the tractor-trailer, whose front tires had been destroyed.

Carrollton police Sgt. Patrick Murphy said the man in the truck may have been the same one who stole a car from the parking lot of a Lowe's store in the 1200 block of Trinity Mills Boulevard in Carrollton shortly before 3 p.m.

"Basically, it appears that this is the same guy that carjacked a vehicle here in Carrollton that started all this," Sgt. Murphy
