JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A drunk driver drove into a Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office patrol car as an officer was working a lane closure on I-10 on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

According to JSO, around 1:30 a.m., the officer\u2019s marked patrol SUV was parked with emergency lights flashing to warn drivers to slow down and move over.<\/p>\n

29-year-old Cate Kitay drove her RAM 2500 pickup truck into the patrol car. JSO says the crash was so forceful that the truck was pushed forward into a utility truck that was parked on the shoulder. <\/p>\n

The officer was transported to a local hospital with minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n

JSO emphasizes the seriousness of this incident, as it could have been a tragedy since the officer was inside his car and construction workers were working nearby.<\/p>\n
