Vehicle Collision on Community Drive Left Four Police Officers Hurt

DALLAS, TX (September 28, 2023) – Early Thursday morning, a car crash injures four police officers investigating an unrelated case at Dallas Love Field.

Around 3:00 p.m. on September 14th, at 3100 block of Community Drive near Dallas Love Field, the accident happened.

Police were in a standoff with a shooting suspect when the car crash happened, according to the authorities. Police restricted a perimeter to investigate the crime scene.

Later on, a driver opted to disregard the barrier and drove through the fire truck and patrol cars, hitting one of the vehicles.

Three other officers who were standing close were struck as well as one cop who was thrown from the vehicle by the crash.

The driver stayed at the scene and was later charged with four counts of aggravated assault and four counts of passing an authorized emergency vehicle.

In addition, the four officers were transported to the hospital and have been released.

There is currently no evidence, according to the investigators, that the driver had been under the influence at the time of the collision.

Thinking, reasoning and muscle coordination are essential in operating a vehicle safely. However, alcohol and certain medications or illegal drugs impair these functions when they are in the body. Never drive while impaired as the consequences can be devastating for you and others. When buzzed or drunk, it is best to request an Uber, Lyft, or a taxi. If possible, reach out to a family member or a friend to come and pick you up. By being responsible, you can keep yourself and others on the road safe.
