Houston Car Accident Involves Police Vehicle

Posted on Jun 19, 2011

A Houston car accident involving a police car sends two women to the hospital after a car runs a red light and slams into the patrol car. The incident took place on Thursday, June 9, 2011, on the South Loop feeder road.

According to reports, a black sport utility vehicle (SUV) was traveling westbound on the South Loop feeder road when the driver ran a red light and crashed into a police car traveling northbound on Scott. The SUV clipped the front end of the patrol car, knocking the front bumper off of it.

Fortunately, neither of the two Houston Police Department officers were injured. However, rescue crews transported two female passengers from the SUV to a nearby hospital as a precaution. Their conditions and identities were not immediately made available.

The driver of the SUV was not identified, and it remains unclear as to whether the driver was injured in the wreck.

The two-vehicle Houston car accident is still under investigation by local authorities. The driver of the SUV was arrested by police for traffic violations. Details concerning those violations were not made known.

This is an unfortunate incident, and we wish the victims a speedy recovery during this difficult time.
