Suspect Hits Patrol Car While Drinking and Driving

Getting into an accident is never fun. Hitting a patrol car, however, it just a complete nightmare. One driver found that out the hard way when he decided to drink and drive.

The driver went through a red light and struck the police car. While the accident was minor, hitting a squad car is an aggravated offense that will only make the DUI accident more serious. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the accident. Once the officer determined that the driver was intoxicated, he called for another officer to arrest the man and bring him to a local jail.
