A San Antonio police officer was injured early this morning after he reportedly crashed into a truck moments after looking at his laptop computer.
The incident occurred around 3 a.m. on Friday morning near AT&T Center Parkway and Aniol Street in San Antonio, Texas.
A police officer had just clocked off duty and was southbound on AT&T Center Parkway on his way back to the police station when he allegedly glanced down at his computer, local news outlet Ken 5 reports.
