Deputy involved in pursuit crash; county files reports and investigation forwarded to DA
Summary
A deputy was injured in a two‑vehicle crash during a fleeing pursuit originating in Angelina County. The deputy was treated, returned to duty, and the sheriff said DPS and county prosecutors will receive the investigative file.
The sheriff/agency official (S3) reported a deputy was involved in a two‑vehicle crash during a pursuit of an offender vehicle from Angelina County. S3 said the deputy "did make it to the hospital and that and had a checkup... but no serious injuries" and later confirmed the deputy "is released, and he is, back at duty." The sheriff said the matter is the subject of a pending DPS investigation and that the file is being forwarded to the county attorney and district attorney.
The office filed an insurance report immediately and attempted to notify the treasurer's office; staff said they could not initially reach the treasurer by phone, so the department contacted the insurer directly to preserve the claim. Commissioners acknowledged the report and requested confirmation that internal notification procedures be followed in future incidents.
