HOUSTON — Houston police are searching for a driver who they said hit a Precinct 5 deputy's vehicle in the Meyerland area and then took off.
The crash happened just after 1 a.m. Tuesday on the southbound lanes of Chimney Rock near North Braeswood.
Police said the deputy constable was able to escape after his airbags deployed following the crash that nearly pushed his patrol vehicle into Brays Bayou. The deputy was taken to the hospital and thankfully only suffered minor injuries.
Meyerland residents said the intersection is one they're always concerned about.
"This corner is so, so dangerous," Ms. Edens said. "It's always accidents."
Edens also said drivers always run the stop sign in the area. Meanwhile, police said the driver could face several charges if caught.
