HOUSTON—A Houston police officer was injured Thursday when a driver cut in front of his squad car, causing the officer to roll over on the freeway.
Police said an HPD officer was trying to catch up with a car speeding north on the Gulf Freeway around 11: 45 p.m. when a truck changed lanes in front of the squad car.
The officer struck the rear end of the truck, bounced off a retaining wall, flipped over and landed upright against the wall.
The HPD officer suffered only minor bumps and bruises, but was taken to Ben Taub Hospital as a precaution.
The truck driver was not injured.
It is unknown if the truck driver will be ticketed because the officer did not have on his emergency sirens. The accident is under investigation.
