This was yesterday. God had his hands over my son because he has some cuts,
scraps, and swelling and soreness, but is home with no major injuries!

Car accident sends officer to hospital
March 14, 2007
An Iowa Park police officer was treated at a hospital and released after an
accident threw him part of the way through the windshield of his patrol car,
Iowa Park Police Chief Steve Klempa said.
Officer Chris Kelmer was on his way to a home burglary call when he was
involved in the accident, Klempa said. The collision happened about 1 p.m.
Tuesday at the intersection of West Highway and Jackson. A car pulled out and
struck the passenger side of the patrol vehicle, Klempa said. The impact caused
the patrol car to spin and slam into a telephone pole. Kelmer was thrown
partially through the windshield on the passenger side, and an ambulance took
him to United Regional Health Care System in Wichita Falls, Klempa said.
Klempa said the driver of the other vehicle, a 77-year-old woman, did not
appear to be injured, but she also went to the hospital to be checked.
The Department of Public Safety is investigating the accident, Klempa said.
Kelmer has been with the Iowa Park Police Department for several years.
