Authorities in Texas said that a South African rugby star met his fate Friday outside of Houston when he crashed into the car of a fleeing teen.
Pedrie Wannenburg, 41, died and six people were hospitalized with various injuries when the 16-year-old suspect fleeing cops struck four vehicles in his way.
“One of our units attempted to conduct a traffic stop at Greenhouse RD & Little York when the vehicle fled. The suspect vehicle then struck two other vehicles,” Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Twitter.
Wannenberg was reportedly traveling with his wife and two children at the time of the accident; his son, 8, was hospitalized in critical condition.
Suspect Ali Alabadi was reportedly traveling 100 miles per hour before the crash at around 5:45 p.m.
He was charged with felony murder, reckless aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, and aggravated assault causing bodily injury.
