Mines was driving a black Dodge Magnum eastbound on the freeway at a high rate of speed when he turned into the lane where the victim was driving a Harley motorcycle. The Dodge then dragged the motorcycle a short distance before it came to a rest on the shoulder of the freeway.  Mines then turned around on the freeway and fled the scene.  Mines was followed by witnesses until he stopped in the parking lot of a strip center.  Responding patrol officers were able to take him into custody without further incident.  The victim was transported by HFD paramedics to Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital in critical condition.
