A wreck in Texas created quite the spectacle as empty beer cans went flying through the air. A driver of a pickup truck was probably intoxicated as he struck a police SUV. But now the man might time to sober up behind bars. 

Texas man hits Police SUV with truck and beer cans fall into street 

Two police officers in Houston, Texas were having a routine shift until their day took a turn, landing them in the hospital. They were heading southbound in their Police SUV on North Wayside Drive around 12:30 PM when they were suddenly hit by a truck. 

According to Click 2 Houston, the driver was leaving a stop sign from Joy Street and caused a collision. The impact was so strong that the police car landed up on the sidewalk. The pickup landed in the southbound lanes. 

Also, the roadway was littered with several empty beer cans that fell out of the truck. Reportedly, the driver threw cans out the window as well. Everyone involved was taken to a local hospital for minor injuries. 

There is an ongoing investigation into the incident. It’s unclear if alcohol was a factor. If the driver wasn’t operating under the influence then he could still face open container charges. 

The cause of the crash is also unclear. I’m not an expert but it sounds like the driver who left the stop sign was at fault. Perhaps he didn’t see the police cruising down the street in their Ford Explorer. 

If the driver was drunk then he will face more severe charges once he’s medically cleared.
