NEW: The Polk County Sheriff’s Office said one of their patrol sergeants was injured when a sedan and their patrol vehicle crashed on US Highway 190 West on Saturday.

According to the sheriff’s office, patrol sergeant Rey Davalos was on patrol while heading east on US 190 West at around 9 a.m. near Triple J Lanes on Saturday when he saw a silver 2006 Saab sedan heading west on US 190 West. The sheriff’s office said the Saab crossed into Davalos’ lane and he had to swerve to the right to try and avoid a head-on crash.

Despite the Davalos’ swerving, the Saab hit the driver’s side of Davalos’ patrol Chevrolet Tahoe, according to a post from the sheriff’s office. 

Davalos is said to have immediately got out to check on the driver of the Saab. Davalos and the Saab driver both had minor injuries from the crash and they were transported to a local hospital for treatment.

Please, praying for all involved🙏🏻
