HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- A Cy-Fair ISD officer was injured in a crash involving a suspect who took off during a traffic stop on Thursday, according to officials.

That's when the Cy-Fair ISD officer responded to assist the HCSO deputy but collided with the suspect near West Little York Road and Queenston Boulevard. According to the sheriff's office, the suspect was driving at a high rate of speed before the crash.

HCSO said the officer suffered minor injuries in the crash.

ABC13 cameras at the scene captured a patrol car being towed away.

No additional information about the suspect has been released.
