FORT WORTH, Texas -- Two officers were injured Sunday afternoon in a traffic crash as they responded to a road rage call, police said.

One officer was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth and another to John Peter Smith Hospital. The officers were alert and awake, police said.

The names of the officers had not been released.

At about 3 p.m., the officers answered a call of a road rage incident involving a man displaying a gun at Interstate 20 and Hulen Street.

“The two officers were in some type of an accident,” Officer Brad Perez said in a Sunday email.

The officers’ vehicle crashed into a Wells Fargo bank wall at northbound Loop 820 at White Settlement Road.

The suspect’s vehicle was disabled after it crashed, police said. The suspect fled.

Officers searched a neighborhood just west of Loop 820 in the Maryville Lane area. The suspect was captured, police said.
