Houston, Texas (December 27, 2018) – Two HPD officers were hospitalized after a crash involving a suspected DUI driver on Christmas Eve in Houston, according to the authorities.
The wreck happened at around midnight Monday, December 24 on Telephone Road near Peekskill Lane.

The impact caused the patrol unit to overturn and it burst into flames.
A passenger in the patrol unit, Officer Alonzo Reid, 25, was assisted to get out of the vehicle by a passerby. The two then went back to assist Officer Daily out of the burning patrol car.
Both officers were taken to Southeast Memorial Hermann, where Officer Daily underwent surgery on Wednesday. His injuries included 2nd and 3rd degree burns on his arms and legs, face, stomach and chest.
Officer Reid was treated and released on Christmas Day.
