Clute cruiser in accident
Published May 3, 2008
CLUTE — A Clute police cruiser had minor damage Wednesday when it collided with another vehicle at the intersection of Main Street and Plantation Drive.
Officer Darren Barnett, 33, was driving a 2003 Ford Crown Victoria with lights flashing and signals sounding south on Main Street through the intersection at 11:13 a.m., Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper Manuel Cantu said.
A 1995 Ford Crown Victoria driven by Ubaldo Serrano, 21, east on Plantation Drive collided with the cruiser as it entered the intersection, Cantu said. Serrano’s vehicle was not a police vehicle.
Barnett was responding to a distress call, Cantu said. Serrano had a green light.
Serrano’s front bumper grazed Barnett’s rear bumper. Both vehicles were traveling at low speeds. Neither driver was injured and the accident caused minor damage to both vehicles.
“They just transferred some paint,” Cantu said.
Cantu cited neither driver, but said the investigation is pending. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts.
