A police sergeant who saw a stranded vehicle along Interstate 30 pulled over to block traffic as the driver waited for a friend to arrive with a spare tire to replace his flat one.
The friend soon came and a backup officer blocked traffic for the their car.
Just moments later, a van crashed into one of the squad cars and overturned, causing a chain reaction crash with the parked vehicles on the side of the highway.
Police say the driver had fallen asleep at the wheel after a long shift.
The sergeant helped the driver break free from his vehicle.
