DALLAS COUNTY, Texas — Two Dallas County sheriff’s deputies were injured in a car accident on Saturday morning, officials with the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.

The deputies were at the scene of a major accident on eastbound Interstate 20 and Cockrell Hill Road in a marked squad car with emergency lights on, officials said.

While waiting for a wrecker to arrive, the squad car was struck from behind by a black Mercedes sedan, according to the statement.

Both deputies and the driver of the Mercedes were transported to an area hospital in stable condition, officials said.

The driver of the Mercedes is being charged with driving while intoxicated, officials said.
