Un accidente al medio día en la esquina de Bibb y del Norte Veteranos Blvd. causó que un ambulancia y unidades policiales respondieran de inmediato.
Policía de Eagle Pass estuvieron presentes para dirigir el tráfico ya que los vehículos estaban en el carril de giro a la izquierda que viaja hacia el sur.
Al cierre de esta edición, ninguna versión oficial fue dado ya sea por el Departamento de Policía de Eagle Pass que inicialmente estaban manejando el accidente, ni por el Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas que no pudo ser contactado para hacer comentarios para un informe del accidente.
Según testigos, un Ford Sport Trac, verde fue golpeado por detrás por un Chevy Tahoe blanco y negro del Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas
Parecía haber dos pasajeros en el Sport-Trac, el piloto y un pasajero y dos troopers del DPS estaban en el Tahoe en el momento del accidente.
El accidente parece ser un caso de que la conductora vió el oficial detrás de ella y con el fin de evitar recibir una infracción por pasarse una luz roja o amarilla, dudó en pasarse el samáforo. La conductora de la pick-up frenó de repente en la intersección no dando al vehículo del oficial del DPS suficiente espacio y menos tiempo de reacción necesario para parar antes de impactar seriamente .
Según EPPD Oficial de Información Pública Humberto O. Garza, el accidente está bajo investigación por el supervisor de turno del DPS, ya que se considera un “accidente flota’.
El Eagle Pass News Gram le mantendrá informado tan pronto como se no proporcione alguna información oficial.

Public Information Officer for the Eagle Pass Police Department, Humberto O. Garza, informed The News Gram of a relatively incident-free first day of classes on Monday, however he did point out that problems were seen at various campuses such as LDC where parents parked in illegal zones and some were given infractions for doing so.
At Kennedy Hall, cars parked on Bonnet Avenue caused traffic bottle necks and problems there while at ECC Clarkson and the vehicles who park there also are the cause of only one vehicle being able to travel either east or west on Clarkson.

County units were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover accident on US Highway 277 Monday, approximately 10 miles out of Eagle Pass. Deputies arrived to make contact with the driver of a white Ford F-150, who stated that he felt his vehicle was pulling to the right and lost control when he attempted to readjust the pickup.
