Off-duty officer injured in accident

DALLAS - An off-duty Dallas police officer is in stable condition on Saturday after his car struck a loose trailer on eastbound Interstate 20, authorities said.

Saul Sarmiento, a southwest division officer, was driving to work at about 3:45 p.m. when a trailer disconnected from another car and struck his vehicle, police said.

Officer Sarmiento was taken to Methodist Medical Center, where he remained Saturday night. His injuries were not life-threatening, said Dallas police Sgt. Jim Chandler.

Both the Dallas and Grand Prairie police departments responded to the accident, which happened just east of Grand Prairie city limits.

No arrests were made in the accident, and police said they were not sure if weather played any role in the wreck.
