2 people hospitalized, including police officer after driver of Houston PD’s T-bones patrol car

HOUSTON — Two people were hospitalized Tuesday evening after investigators said a driver crashed into a Houston police patrol car on the city’s southwest side.

It happened around 10 p.m., police say, as an HPD officer was preparing to stop another vehicle as it headed west on Bissonnet and Kirkwood. That’s when another driver hit the police car at the intersection.

The unidentified driver who hit the patrol car was also hospitalized with minor injuries. Meanwhile, the police officer driving the car was not injured, but the officer sitting on the passenger side suffered minor injuries and was taken to hospital.

It is unclear who is responsible for the accident, but an investigation is still underway.
