HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — An investigation is underway after a woman crashed into a deputy’s vehicle on SH-249 on Saturday afternoon, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, deputies responded to the crash in the 22300 block of SH-249.
Authorities say an HCSO deputy was out of his patrol vehicle tending to a disabled vehicle when he noticed a vehicle rapidly approaching him. The female driver then hit the back of the patrol car, officials said.
