Police Investigate Crash at Blanco Road and Loop 410 in Castle Hills

CASTLE HILLS, TX (April 22, 2026)— A hit-and-run driver struck a Castle Hills police patrol unit early Wednesday morning while officers searched for a vehicle possibly connected to recent burglary activity.

The crash happened around 3 a.m. at the intersection of Blanco Road and Northwest Loop 410.

Castle Hills police said officers were in the area looking for a suspect vehicle tied to recent burglaries when a black sedan entered the intersection. 

Investigators said the sedan disregarded a traffic control device and struck the side of a marked patrol unit as the officer turned from Blanco Road onto the Northwest Loop 410 frontage road.

Police said the black sedan was not believed to be connected to the initial burglary-related search. After the collision, the driver fled the scene.

Emergency responders transported the officer to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Officials said the officer has since been released.

Authorities continue to search for both the driver connected to the initial burglary investigation and the hit-and-run driver who struck the patrol unit.

Injured in a Hit-and-Run Crash? Sweet Lawyers Can Help You Understand Your Options

A hit-and-run crash can leave injured victims facing pain, confusion, and unanswered questions.

When a driver flees after causing a collision, victims may feel especially overwhelmed because they are left to deal with medical care, insurance issues, property damage, and recovery without immediate accountability from the at-fault driver.

At Sweet Lawyers, we understand how stressful these incidents can be. Whether the injured person is a law enforcement officer, another driver, a passenger, or a pedestrian, every victim deserves compassionate support and clear guidance after a serious collision.

Even when injuries are described as non-life-threatening, a crash can still cause lasting pain, emotional distress, missed work, and unexpected expenses.

Hit-and-run cases can involve complex insurance and investigative issues. Victims may need help identifying available coverage, reviewing police reports, preserving evidence, and communicating with insurance companies.

In some cases, uninsured motorist coverage or other policy benefits may help provide financial support while authorities continue searching for the fleeing driver.
