PASADENA, Texas – Pasadena police are investigating a Saturday wreck on State Highway 225 that happened as an officer was working a traffic stop.
According to the Pasadena Police Department , the marked patrol vehicle was hit from behind, setting off a domino effect that pulled several other cars into the crash. Police said four vehicles total — including the patrol unit — were damaged so badly they couldn’t be driven away and were towed from the scene.
The officer and two of the drivers were taken to local hospitals to be evaluated, police said. Another driver chose not to be transported.
In a Sunday morning update, Pasadena police said the officer involved in the crash has been released from the hospital and is at home resting.
