SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio police officer was hospitalized after a driver allegedly rear-ended a patrol vehicle on the Northeast Side, according to the San Antonio Police Department.
Officers were initially responding to a “separate accident minor” just after 2 a.m. Saturday near Interstate 35 North and Northeast Loop 410.
Shortly after arriving, police said the driver collided with the rear of the patrol vehicle, causing a “domino effect of crashes.”
The officer was taken to a local hospital for precautionary evaluation, according to an SAPD preliminary report.
The driver, identified as a 41-year-old man, was evaluated for intoxication, police said. The report did not specify if the man was arrested in connection with the crash.
