Investigators said another vehicle was also struck in the crash.

Troopers said they believe Mendoza was under the influence of both drugs and alcohol.

"The OPD officer had just finished a briefing, along with other police officers and troopers, at UCF for a DUI saturation patrol," Montes said.

No other details were given.
