A San Antonio Police Department officer, responding to a call for backup, was involved in a traffic collision on the city's west side Thursday morning. The crash, occurring near the intersection of Culebra Road and Rim Rock Trail, resulted in minor injuries to both the officer and the civilian driver involved, according to official reports.

The accident unfolded around 11 a.m., when the patrol car, urgently trying to reach another officer, collided with another vehicle. FOX San Antonio noted that both individuals were taken to University Hospital as a precaution following the incident. At this point, no charges are anticipated to be filed.

Details on what led to the collision remain sparse. Witnesses at the scene provided conflicting accounts, which kept investigators from immediately determining the cause of the accident. The police cruiser was reportedly equipped with activated lights and siren as the officer sped to the scene of the initial call, KENS 5 reported.

The involved officer, whose identity has not been released, is a 12-year veteran of the San Antonio Police Department. The department has not provided further details regarding the officer's condition, but confirmed the injuries sustained were minor. As investigations continue, the SAPD remains tight-lipped on any potential fault in the collision, only stating that both drivers were fortunate enough to to have been alone in their vehicles, with no passengers to speak of at the time of the crash.
