It happened around 11 p.m. on Fuqua near Palmhill in southeast Houston.
The officer was eastbound on Fuqua when the driver of the other vehicle rolled through the intersection, according to Houston police. Officers told ABC13 the driver was 'very intoxicated' when the crash happened.
"So, this person is going to go to jail," said Sean Teare, who is the Harris County District Attorney's chief of vehicular crimes. "This person is likely going to have a DWI conviction on their record for the rest of their life. But thankfully, it's not intoxication manslaughter or intoxication assault of the police officer, because our officer here on scene did not suffer any significant injuries, which is the real story here."
