A 22-year-old man died early Friday morning after he drove away from police during a traffic stop and then slammed into trees and a parked car in southeast Houston, officials said.

The incident occurred about 12:05 a.m. in the 7600 block of Moline near Poplar, according to the Houston Police Department.

Police said the man was driving a Lincoln Town Car when officers tied to stop him because the car had incorrect license plates on it. But, police said, the man refused to stop. Offices followed him.
