Posted: Updated:

HOUSTON (KHOU) – One suspect was killed and another got away after a truck driver caught the two trying to burglarize his 18-wheeler Tuesday night, according to Harris County Sheriff's deputies.

The 60-year-old suspect and another accomplice were caught breaking into a big rig parked in the 8500 block of C.E. King Parkway at Tidwell around 10:15 p.m.
 
The truck driver's wife was taking him to bring a load of tools to his 18-wheeler and, when the two arrived, they spotted two suspects inside the vehicle.
 
The suspects were spooked and ran away, but the driver gave chase. He caught up with one of the suspects and the two began to fight. 
 
Deputies said the suspect swung a metal bar at the driver, but the driver overpowered him, took the metal bar away and beat the suspect with it.
 
The suspect was taken to the hospital, but later died from his injuries. His identity has not been released.
 
The second suspect got away by fleeing into the woods.
