FORT WORTH (1080 KRLD) - A Lubbock County Sheriff's deputy is okay following a crash in Fort Worth this morning.
Just before 3:00 a.m. police arrived to find a driver had rear-ended the deputy's marked SUV which had stopped for a stop sign at South Main and Pennsylvania just south of downtown.
Police say the deputy was in town in a show of respect for a Lubbock firefighter and police officer who were killed Saturday when a car ran them down on an icy I-27.
The two first responders had been brought to Fort Worth because the Tarrant County Medical Examiner is handling their remains.
The driver who caused the crash was apparently not hurt, either.
Fort Worth police dispatched the call as a DWI but it's not clear if the driver is facing charges.
