VIDEO: Car flips at the end of Lake Worth police chase

A 13-year-old girl, a 16-year-old boy and two men were hurt Wednesday night in a violent rollover crash during a police chase in Lake Worth. Police said they had large amounts of cocaine and black tar heroin in their car.

LAKE WORTH, Texas - Lake Worth police arrested a 16-year-old in connection to a chase that ended with the car flipping and injuring all 4 people inside, including a 13-year-old sexual assault victim.

On Feb. 15, a chase started after a Lake Worth police officer attempted to pull over a car for a traffic violation.

The pursuit lasted about a minute before the car hit a curb and flipped on Northwest Centre Drive.
