The driver of the Camry, Seyedeh Moeini, a lab technologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch, was pronounced dead at the hospital just hours before her 52nd birthday.
McNeil was also taken to the hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.
The Texas Department of Public Safety is investigating the crash. It is unclear at this time how fast the officer was going or whether his emergency lights and sirens were activated at the time of the collision.
A witness to the crash, Patsy Trost, told FOX 26 that she did not hear any sirens before the impact.
