HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Two children are home safe after police say a man stole their father's SUV with them still inside, then led officers on a 17-mile chase through Houston that reached speeds of more than 100 mph.

The suspect, Robert Gonzales, was arrested after the stolen SUV collided with another vehicle and crashed into a barrier on the East Freeway.

Bayron Rodriguez, 17, was riding in the back seat of that vehicle with his brother Sunday night when the chase suddenly came crashing into them.
