CONCORD, CA — A man was arrested on suspicion of DUI early Saturday morning in Concord after he crashed his truck into a police car, police said. The crash occurred at about 2 a.m. at Meadow Lane and Leland Way as police were investigating another alleged DUI incident, Cpl. Christopher Blakely said.
As officers were waiting for a tow truck, 30-year-old Angel Carrera-Lopez allegedly ignored the cones and flares in the area and crashed a black 2002 GMC pickup into the left side of a police car.
"We make ourselves real noticeable," Blakely said. The officer whose car was struck suffered minor facial injuries. He was taken to a hospital. A K-9 with the officer was taken to a veterinarian as a precaution.
