A Houston auto accident involving a police car sends two to the hospital after a man slams into the back of the cruiser. The incident took place on Saturday night, April 10, 2010, along the Katy Freeway.

According to investigators, an unidentified male driver was driving along the Katy Freeway when he failed to notice a stopped police cruiser and slammed into the rear of the car. Reports indicate that the police officer had just pulled over another vehicle when the incident took place.

The driver had his son in the car. However, the child, who was in a car seat, escaped injuries.

Investigators have indicated that the driver may have been texting while driving, which may have played a contributing role in the two-vehicle wreck.
