A Mission man is in custody after a trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety was struck by a vehicle in Mission, a department spokesperson said.

The trooper was hospitalized and is expected to be OK, DPS said.

Raul Robert Bustamante, 22, was arrested on a charge of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle in connection with the incident, DPS added.

The trooper was conducting a traffic stop on a Ford Mustang on the eastbound lanes of Expressway 83 west of Conway Avenue at around 5:17 p.m. when the Mustang was struck by a passing vehicle driven by Bustamante, DPS said.

The Mustang launched toward the trooper, pinning him to the center of the cement barrier, DPS said.

"The DPS trooper sustained bodily injury and was transported to a local hospital, where he is in stable condition," DPS said in a news release.

DPS previously said that the driver involved in the incident stopped to render aid.

Bustamante was booked into the Hidalgo County jail and is awaiting arraignment.
