A San Antonio traffic officer was injured early Saturday morning in a car chase on Loop 410, police said.
About 2:20 a.m., John Pagola, an officer in the DWI unit, was parked and running radar along westbound Loop 410 near Jones Maltsberger Road. Then, a newer-model, silver Porsche SUV sped past at about 20 miles per hour over the speed limit, said police spokesman Joe Rios.
As Pagola activated his lights and siren and moved onto the highway, the Porsche accelerated to more than 100 miles per hour, Rios said.
While navigating a curve near the intersection of Loop 410 and Interstate 10, Pagola crashed his police car into a concrete wall. He was taken to Methodist Hospital with an injured shoulder and later released, Rios said.
Pagola was unable to record the SUV?s license plate number, and the driver of the Porsche has not been apprehended at this moment, according to Rios.
