Police allege a driver was impaired when he was involved in a non-fatal accident overnight in Brownsville.
The Brownsville Police Department responded to a crash on East Price Road and US Highway 77 Southbound Frontage at approximately 12:05 a.m. Monday morning.
According to police, the responding officer noticed that a white Toyota Tundra had struck a Gray Dodge Ram’s back end with its front end.
The driver of the Dodge Ram suffered a non-life-threatening injury and was transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention, police said.
However, the driver of the Tundra — identified by police as 52-year-old Juan Manuel Saucedo — was then observed by police. After their investigation, the officer determined that “Saucedo did not have the mental and physical faculties to operate a motor vehicle due to the introduction of alcohol into his body,” police said Monday in a press release.
Saucedo was arrested and charged with intoxication assault, a third-degree felony, police said.
