Early Sunday morning in Fort Worth, Texas, a police chase on Interstate 35 turned deadly around 2.34 a.m. Cop spotted a car rolling without headlights near Rosedale Street.

They found they wrecked off the road in the 1500 block, total loss for the driver who was pronounced dead right there at the scene. Luckily, the passenger climbed out with just minor cuts and got rushed to a hospital. No word on his condition yet. No cops or bystanders got hurt, keeping the damage limited to those inside the suspect car.
