A 32-year-old man was charged with intoxication manslaughter after a car he was driving allegedly struck and killed a Dallas police officer who was blocking the scene of an earlier accident on an expressway, police said.
Officer Mitchell Penton was standing outside his squad car with his emergency lights on when another vehicle hit the squad car about 1:45 a.m. Saturday. That caused the police car to strike Penton, the Dallas Police Department said in a news release. Penton was taken to a hospital, where he later died, police said.More Related News
