SAN ANTONIO – A man was suspected of driving under the influence after he rear-ended parked vehicles, sending several passengers, including off-duty officers, to the hospital, according to San Antonio police.

The crash happened just after 2 a.m. Saturday in the 2700 block of North Loop 1604 East, where off-duty police officers were working with construction crews to direct traffic.
