A driver of an SUV was involved in a head-on collision with a canine unit deputy’s cruiser Saturday evening in Oklahoma City.
According to reports, the man was driving the wrong direction in the westbound lane of S.W. 29th when his vehicle hit the deputy’s cruiser head-on. EMSA treated both drivers at the scene of the accident. Once treated, the SUV driver was given a field sobriety test and later handcuffed.
