Vidor PD officer from Kirbyville involved in an incident while responding to an emergency

The Texas Department of Public Safety says a Kirbyville man, who is a Vidor police officer, was in a Tuesday afternoon incident involving another vehicle. According to the DPS report, at about three o'clock 56-year-old Officer Gregory Harbison was driving his patrol SUV with emergency lights activated as he was responding to an emergency. Troopers say Harbison took an exit ramp from Interstate io and turned to travel eastbound on the westbound service road. According to DPS, a 2023 Cadillac SUV was traveling the opposite direction and swerved to miss hitting the patrol car. The Cadillac instead went off the service road and collided with a utility pole. The DPS report said that the driver of the SUV, Mireyda Gonzalez, 20, of Beaumont, a passenger, Joel Gonzalez, also of Beaumont, and a 9-month-old child were transported by ambulance to Baptist Hospital in Beaumont.
