About 8:25 p.m., a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper saw Durcho driving erratically on eastbound Texas highway 36 about four miles west of Hamilton, the sheriff's office said. The trooper called for backup, but before he could make a traffic stop, the car crashed into a guardrail and two trees.

A trooper responding to the wreck ran the license plate of the white 1989 Ford Thunderbird and saw Oklahoma authorities sought Durcho and the vehicle in connection with the deaths of Summer Rust, 25, and her four children: son Teagin, 4, and daughters Kirsten, 7, Autumn, 7, and Evynn, 3, according to the sheriff's office. Durcho was arrested without incident, and the sheriff's office took custody of the car.
