Smart Car leads troopers in chase

An unidentified man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after leading authorities on a chase in a Smart Car, according to KHOU-TV.

A Department of Public Safety trooper tried to pull over the tiny black two-seater shortly before noon on Interstate 10 near the Kirkwood exit, but the driver refused to stop, KHOU reported.

Speeding onto the 610 Loop, the driver turned north on Ella and then went into a residential area, KHOU said. The chase ended in a driveway, the station said.

Houston police assisted in the arrest, according to KHOU video.
