GARLAND, TX – A 32-year-old man sustained fatal injuries Friday in a collision involving a police cruiser in northeast Dallas County, reports Fox 4 KDFW.

The accident occurred around 6:30 a.m. at the intersection of West State Street and McKinley Street in Garland, which is approximately 19 miles northeast of Dallas.
