Baytown Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating a major crash involving an on-duty Baytown Police officer.

Responding officers immediately rendered life-saving measures until Baytown EMS arrived and assumed care of the injured parties. The Baytown Police Department’s Crash Reconstruction Team, along with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office Vehicular Crimes Division (VCD), responded to the scene and initiated an investigation into the cause of the crash. 

“This is a tragedy for everyone involved and impacted by this event,” said Police Chief John Stringer. “Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers are with the children and family involved, as well as our officer, the officer’s family, and the Baytown officers who responded to the scene. While this has been a difficult time for everyone, we are grateful that our officer is in stable condition. The department’s Traffic Reconstruction Team is investigating in accordance with standard procedures and is cooperating fully to ensure a transparent and factual review of this incident. We ask for patience and objectivity from the community as we gather all information, which may take some time. I would also like to recognize the professional and compassionate response of our officers who provided aid to all involved.”
