A Texas man is accused of slamming into a police SUV while intoxicated, authorities say.

Benigno Gomez was recently charged with driving while intoxicated and evading arrest with a vehicle, according to FOX 4 Dallas. He was also charged with striking an unattended police vehicle.

Balch Springs authorities were speaking with another driver off a highway when Gomez allegedly slammed into their car.

"Balch Spring Police Officers were on an investigative stop off the highway stemming from a disturbance," Balch Springs Police Department said in a Facebook post.
