HOUSTON — An alleged drunk driver led police on a chase through north Houston overnight Sunday.
Houston police said around midnight they received a call about a wrong-way driver.
Responding officers found the vehicle matching the description of the wrong-way driver and alerted the driver to pull over. Officers walked to the vehicle and said they noticed the driver appeared to be intoxicated.
Before they could get the driver of the vehicle, he took off, police said.

The driver was soon arrested and taken to the hospital as a precaution.
Investigators sais the suspect is being charged with DWI and felony evading in a motor vehicle.
