Philadelphia Police Officers Struck and Injured by Drunk Driver
Two Philadelphia police officers suffered severe injuries after being struck by a car driven by a suspected drunk driver, according to this Fox News report. The two police officers had just arrested another drunk driver when a black Honda Pilot sideswiped their police car and plowed into the arrestee's red Chevy. One of the officers, who was still searching the Chevy, suffered critical head injuries including multiple facial fractures from the car accident in Philadelphia. The other officer, who was standing by the Chevy, suffered injuries to his arm and legs, but is said to be in stable condition. Police arrested the driver of the Honda on suspicion of aggravated assault, speeding and driving under the influence.
Driving under the influence in Pennsylvania has serious consequences on the lives of those who cross paths with the drunk driver in an accident. When a drunk driver injures or kills another person, he or she could be held criminally and civilly liable for the accident and resulting injuries. Drunk driving is the worst form of negligence and causes grief that no family should have to endure.
