Woman killed in car accident with off-duty Fort Worth police officer
A 27-year-old woman was killed when her car collided with an unmarked police vehicle driven by an off-duty Fort Worth police officer. An investigation is underway to determine if the officer was driving under the influence of alcohol when the accident occurred.
The officer, Jesus Cisneros, was traveling west on Columbus Trail early Friday morning when a Chrysler PT Cruiser traveling south on Evening Start Drive attempted to turn in front of his vehicle. Cisneros’s Toyota Highlander then collided with the PT Cruiser.
The woman driving the PT Cruiser, Sonia Baker of Fort Worth, was pronounced dead at the scene. Baker was a wife and the mother of two young boys.
Cisneros was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in serious condition. There it was determined that Cisneros may have consumed alcohol prior to the accident. The results of the blood test, however, have not yet been returned.
A press release issued by the Fort Worth Police Department states that Cisneros faces charges of driving while intoxicated – and possibly even intoxication manslaughter – if the test shows that he had a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.
