DALLAS, Texas. A Dallas police officer was injured Wednesday afternoon when a vehicle struck the officer's patrol car during a traffic stop on the Marvin D. Love Freeway, according to the Dallas Police Department.
Officers responded to an assist officer with ambulance call at approximately 3:52 p.m. in the 6200 block of northbound Marvin D. Love Freeway.
A preliminary investigation determined the officer was standing next to a patrol vehicle during a traffic stop when another vehicle struck the squad car. The impact injured the officer, who was transported to a hospital for evaluation as a precaution.
The driver of the vehicle that struck the patrol car was also taken to a hospital by Dallas Fire-Rescue.
"We are grateful our officer does not appear to have suffered serious injuries and was transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution," Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux said.
