Houston, TX, July 5, 2025 – A Houston Police Department unit was involved in a major collision early Saturday morning while responding to a call for service, leaving three people hospitalized. The incident occurred around 2:10 a.m. on July 5 at the intersection of Airline Drive and Johnston Street. According to initial reports, a North Division HPD vehicle collided with a Cadillac Escalade, trapping the SUV’s driver inside. Houston Fire Department personnel extricated the SUV driver, who was transported to Ben Taub Hospital. Both HPD officers in the patrol unit were also taken to the hospital in stable condition. All parties are expected to survive. Preliminary details suggest the HPD unit was en route to a call when the Escalade allegedly pulled out in front of it. However, investigators have not determined fault, and a possible DWI is under review. The case remains under investigation by HPD traffic units.
