Driver Hits San Diego Police Officer

This week, it was reported that a car veered off of State Route 163 in Hillcrest, California.  The vehicle then crashed into a police cruiser parked in the center divider.  After the car accident, numerous people, including the police patrol woman, had to be sent to the hospital.  The crash also led to the freeway being closed on one side.

Police say the San Diego police officer was pulled over in the median along the southbound side of the freeway at 11:15 AM and was trying to assist a driver whose car had broken down.   Within minutes, she saw a car swerving off of the freeway and noticed that it was heading in her direction.  She responded by jumping back into her cruiser car just before it was hit and pushed into the disabled vehicle. 

Medics arrived at the scene and took the policewoman and other people involved in the accident to the emergency room for treatment of minor injuries.
