Rear-End Crash Injures Liberty County Sheriff’s Deputy

Even the most responsible and experienced drivers can get into accidents, as a Liberty County Sheriff’s deputy learned when he was rear ended by a local corrections officer recently in Dayton.  Corporal James Ott’s patrol car was stopped in morning traffic waiting on a light when an officer with the Texas Department of Corrections collided with his vehicle. The officer was on her way home from work and fell asleep at the wheel.  Investigators determined she did not have a valid driver’s license and charged her for that and failure to control her speed. Neither she nor her passenger was injured, but Corporal Ott suffered neck injuries and went to the hospital. Both vehicles incurred minor damage.
