Harris County Sheriff's Office
McConnell said a witness was following a suspected drunk driver with failure to stop and give information. That witness then contacted dispatch. That's when, according to McConnell, the suspect vehicle, a F-550 large vehicle, "for whatever reason," struck the back of the female constable's vehicle. The collision caused the deputy's vehicle to burst into flames immediately. McConnell said they believe the driver of the F-550 was intoxicated. He added that they are seeking a warrant for blood.
"Tonight we have a hero that died," McConnell said. "Every agency out here has a DWI unit, and we're fighting people like this to get 'em off the streets."
