Corpus Christi Police Officers were on the scene of a crash involving a vehicle that had rolled over after striking another vehicle and some traffic barrels, when a police unit was struck and destroyed.

A 40 year old man with his 2 year old son were traveling west on State Highway 358 in a 2007 Nissan Altima when the driver made an unsafe lane change and struck a 2002 Chevrolet Impala driven by a 50 year old male. The driver of the Nissan lost control after striking the Impala and it struck some traffic barrels and then flipped over. No one was injured in that crash.

An officer arrived to investigate that crash and positioned his police unit in the far right lane of the freeway. The officer then got out of his unit and walked up to the accident scene when a 2006 Ford Mustang collided into the back of the parked police unit and it was immediately engulfed in flames.

The driver of the Ford Mustang, Jorge Ortiz (07/12/1974), was determined to be intoxicated and was arrested. The west bound lanes of the freeway were shut down for several hours until both accidents were able to be cleared off of the highway. There were no injuries in any of these vehicles.
