It all started just before 9 p.m. when Sgt. Dallas with Houston Police Department said a driver hit a young woman on Eastex Fwy Road and Laura Koppe, causing her to fall over the retaining wall. She was rushed to a hospital in extremely serious condition; Sgt. Dallas said her injuries were so severe it did not look good for her.
However, the driver stopped and we’re told is cooperating with investigators.
While police were investigating the initial crash scene, Sgt. Dallas explained how one officer was blocking a certain part of the scene and a suspected drunk driver went through anyway and hit the officer’s patrol car.
