The San Jose Police Department reported that a drunk driver crashed into two of their parked patrol cars. The collision occurred while officers were presumably outside their vehicles, and the department has confirmed that the involved officers sustained only minor injuries. The harrowing event was detailed in a social media post by the department.
The damaged patrol cars, standing as an unintended barricade, were struck by the inebriated individual last night. As the San Jose Police Department stated on Facebook, "Last night, several Officers were struck by a drunk driver who collided with two parked patrol vehicles." Fortunately, this close call did not escalate into a fatality, and the involved officers were fortunate to have escaped serious harm.
The San Jose Police Department has not released any further details regarding the driver's identity or the specific repercussions they will face. Yet, having been scarred by the drunken collision, the patrol cars' very presence at the scene has become a stark marker of the incident's potential severity. The community breathes a collective sigh of relief, grateful that the officers involved walked away with minor injuries and that no one else was reported harmed.
