A El Paso Police Department (EPPD) officer responding to a call of a ‘man walking with a sword’ in Northeast El Paso, t-boned a second car, sending both drivers to the hospital.

EPPD officials say the crash happened around 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, at the intersection of Transmountain and Rushing.

The EPPD Officer, only identified as a 19-year-veteran of the force, was traveling west on Transmountain when a 2011 Chevy Malibu driven by 18-year-old Saul Sifuentes entered the intersection and was struck by the EPPD unit.
