The officer was transported to Baptist South hospital as a precaution and was released shortly after.

The other driver was not injured.

It was raining in the area at the time of the crash and JSO will look into whether that was a factor.

"It's a mess down there with the rain and all," said Mike Senterfitt with JSO.

He said it's also a construction zone which can make it confusing.

The vehicles were seriously damaged but Senterfitt emphasized no one was injured.
