One of the regular topics of this blog is accidents that occur in and around the Houston area. What follows is information about recent collisions you may have missed.

*A suspected drunk driver finds himself in a lot more trouble than he probably bargained for after he lost control of his pick-up truck and slammed into the back of a police vehicle this morning. On the bright side though (if that's possible); he saved the officer the time and trouble of pulling him over and running him through a series of sobriety tests.

*In another unusual accident residents of a local neighborhood are puzzled as to why police that responded to a vehicle collision allowed the driver to leave the scene. According to witnesses, the driver hit a stop sign and parked vehicle before coming to a stop. They claim they saw empty beer containers in the vehicle and the driver smelled of alcohol. Police who responded to the accident may not have run any sobriety tests on the man before allowing him to leave the scene.

*Finally, a semi-truck accident joined the 'litany' of vehicle collisions on the Beltway early the other morning. The cause of the accident has yet to be determined but there were no serious injuries - an unusual occurrence when commercial trucks end up entangled with passenger vehicles.
