BALCONES HEIGHTS, Texas — An SAPD cruiser was hit by a woman suspected of driving while intoxicated on the northwest side of town early Monday morning.
A Balcones Heights Police officer spotted the woman driving erratically and turned on his lights to pull her over around 1:45 a.m. on the Loop 410 access road at Fredericksburg Road.
The light was red at the intersection, but the 19-year-old woman blew through it and hit an SAPD patrol vehicle.
The SAPD officer was treated for minor injuries at the scene, and taken to a nearby micro ER for an evaluation.
The teen driver refused any medical treatment. She was detained for suspicion of DWI.
Balcones Police will be handling the suspected DWI case and any charges she may face, while SAPD will be handling the crash report of the scene.
This is a developing story.
