An off-duty U.S. Border Patrol agent was injured when the government vehicle he was driving was rear-ended by a suspected drunken driver, authorities say.
Diego Garcia, 28, of Tubac, was speeding along Interstate 19 north of Nogales early Friday when he slammed into the agent's car, the Arizona Department of Transportation says.
Garcia's car then hit the guardrail and concrete barrier on the east of the road before heading into the median.
Garcia was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence and other charges, Trooper Kameron Lee said in a Twitter post about the wreck.
Border Patrol officials say the agent was driving home from work when the crash happened. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries and released from the hospital.
