PHILADELPHIA -- A Philadelphia police officer was injured after she was struck by a suspected DUI driver following a traffic stop on Wednesday night.Police said the 44-year-old female officer had just completed a traffic stop and was walking back to her SUV when another driver swerved into her.
"According to witnesses, her body was launched about 10 feet," said Philadelphia Chief Inspector Scott Small. Witnesses told police the driver fled northbound on Torresdale Avenue immediately after hitting the officer.Responding officers spotted the alleged striking vehicle, a black Chevy Malibu, near Cottman Avenue. It had a smashed front windshield and a missing side-view mirror -- damage consistent with the hit-and-run."He's not injured but he'll be getting a breathalyzer very soon at our police detention unit," said Small.
The officer, a 12-year veteran assigned to the 15th District, was transported to an area hospital for minor injuries."She's clearly shaken up. She's not even sure what happened to her," said Small.
