Drunk Driver Crashes into Back of EMS Vehicle

In the city of Schertz, officers report that they placed a DWI suspect under arrest after he crashed his KIA into the back of an emergency response vehicle. Instead of stopping after the collision, the suspect sped off. This prompted the people inside of the EMS vehicle to call police. The EMS crew told police that they were on Interstate 35 when they were forced to move into the exit-only lane so they could prevent a crash with the suspect's vehicle. Within moments of entering the lane, they saw the suspect's car drift into other lanes until it was directly behind their vehicle. They told officers that the suspect's erratic driving led them to believe he was under the influence.

The crew said that the suspect's car hit the back of their vehicle and then he sped off. They tried to follow him, but were unable to, so they called police. Shortly thereafter, officers found the suspect on the same Interstate speeding. He eventually pulled over and was identified as M.A.T. Police say that M.A.T. was intoxicated and was taken to the police department after failing a breath test and field sobriety tests. He is now facing charges for DWI and accident involving damage to vehicle in excess of $200.
