Police and motorists in Texas had a close call on Thursday night after almost being hit by an alleged drunk driver.

Forest Hill Police officers were waiting for a tow truck for a broken down vehicle, when another car crashed into the side of their patrol car, narrowly missing the officers and citizens on the hard shoulder.

The driver of the vehicle was arrested at the scene for "driving while intoxicated".
