Houston police are looking for a man who crashed the car into a ditch at 100 mph, escaped from the scene and left the injured family.

Reports from a local outlet said the father was driving with his wife and four children when the SUV crashed into a pickup truck.

Surveillance footage shows a man's speeding of a Ford expedition on Yale Street when what appeared to be a Chevrolet avalanche truck spins in front of the expedition and cuts the car.

A crash caused the expedition to turn the family into a ditch and overturn them.

Investigators believe the SUV was travelling about 100 miles per hour when the accident occurred.
