In The News: Driver Attending to Cell Phone hits Police Car


A man was apparently texting on his cell phone Tuesday when he ran into the back of a stopped St. Joseph police patrol car, knocked it into another squad car and sent two police officers to the hospital, police said.

The accident occurred after police stopped southbound traffic on Interstate 29 to work a one-car accident.

The man sped around stopped semi-trucks and ran into the patrol car, police said. He was arrested on an unrelated warrant. The officers suffered minor injuries.
