Driver arrested, woman faces multiple charges

(Seguin) – A short police pursuit resulted in a New Braunfels woman crashing into a local home.

Seguin Police officials say the woman faces multiple charges following the hit-and-run crash Monday evening.

The incident began around 6 p.m. when a Seguin Police officer witnessed a white vehicle sideswipe a parked, unoccupied car in the 300 block of W. Cedar Street. Both vehicles were damaged in the collision.

Officials say when the officer attempted a traffic stop, the driver, later identified as Taylor Couch, 29, refused to pull over. That’s when they say Couch continued westbound before turning onto N. Guadalupe Street, where she reportedly drove at high speeds, made multiple U-turns, and exhibited reckless behavior.

The pursuit ended when Couch lost control and crashed into a vacant home in the 800 block of N. Guadalupe Street.

Couch was arrested at the scene and now faces several charges, including Striking an Unattended Vehicle, Evading Arrest or Detention with a Vehicle, and Driving While Intoxicated – a 2nd offense due to prior convictions.

Officials say fortunately, no injuries were reported during the incident.

The crash remains under investigation by the Seguin Police Department.
