A collision in downtown Houston this Tuesday morning sent two Houston Police Department officers and a suspect they were transporting to the hospital after their patrol car was struck, authorities report. The incident occurred near 1700 Travis Street just before 10:30 a.m., with the officers' car being T-boned at the intersection of Travis and Pease Street, Click2Houston notes. The reason for the impact appeared to be the other driver possibly running a red light, though it remains unclear if the patrol car had its emergency lights on at the time, according to information obtained by ABC13.
All injured parties were transported to the hospital with what has been described as non-life-threatening injuries. The two HPD officers reportedly suffered minor injuries, and while their condition is described as stable, the condition of the suspect has not been disclosed. There was no immediate information available about any potential citations for the driver who hit the patrol car, as reported by ABC13.
Both sources say an investigation is ongoing to understand what happened in the crash. The driver stayed at the scene while police officers and the driver received medical care. So far, Houston Police Department have not shared any more details about the investigation or possible outcomes for those involved, as per ABC13.
