A Houston auto accident involving two vehicles leaves two officers injured after their patrol car is struck by a sport utility vehicle (SUV). The incident took place at approximately 4:00 AM on Monday morning, May 10, 2010, at the intersection of Westpark and Tanglewilde.

According to the Houston Police Department, the patrol car was traveling westbound on Westpark when the driver of a blue Ford Escape, heading eastbound, turned into the path of the officer’s vehicle. The officers were responding to a call but did not appear to have their lights or sirens on at the time of the collision.
