A Houston police officer was killed early Sunday when a man drove around a police barricade and struck the officer as he was investigating a traffic accident, investigators said.
Johoan Rodriguez, 26, was charged with intoxication manslaughter of a peace officer, felony evading in a motor vehicle and possession of a controlled substance, police said. Investigators said the substance was cocaine.
Officer Kevin S. Will, 38, was hit around 3:45 a.m. when Rodriguez passed through a barricade on North Interstate Highway 610, police said. Police pursued Rodriguez, but they couldn't stop his vehicle before he fatally hit Will. The officer died at the scene, Houston Police Chief Charles McClelland said.
Will, a married father of two, was sworn in as an officer in September 2009 and would have celebrated a year in the vehicular crimes department Sunday, McClelland said.
