A 27-year-old Baltimore police officer suffered serious injuries late last month when a vehicle hit her and threw off an elevated highway. The collision happened on Interstate 83 as the officer was tending to an accident scene at around 9:20 p.m. A black Saab approaching the accident scene lost control and hit the officer’s vehicle, which hit her and threw her 30 feet to the ground below.
An eyewitness said he heard tires screeching and saw the vehicle throw the officer over the highway. Emergency responders rushed her to Maryland Shock Trauma Center. A police spokesperson said the officer suffered multiple leg injuries, and she was conscious in the ambulance. A doctor at the hospital said she would be entering surgery.
A police spokesperson visited the officer in the hospital and said that doctors expect her to make a recovery. The driver of the vehicle that hit the officer’s car and two people at the original accident scene also suffered injuries in the collision.
