Dallas deputy critically injured in I-35 overpass incident with Ford F-150 and Tesla

A Dallas County sheriff's deputy was seriously harmed during an early morning incident when he was struck and thrown off an overpass while investigating a crash on Interstate 35. The upsetting event occurred at approximately 3:11 a.m. on Saturday on the northbound side of I-35, just above Harry Hines Boulevard, as reported by Doug Sisk, the public information officer for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office. The deputy was examining a collision when a Tesla driver was also involved in a secondary crash at the same location. Following this, a Ford F-150 lost control on the slippery road and collided with the deputy's parked vehicle at the crash site, ultimately hitting the deputy and throwing him off the overpass onto Harry Hines Boulevard below. Sustaining serious injuries, the deputy was quickly taken to a local hospital. The Tesla driver, who was inside the deputy's car at the time of the incident, also suffered injuries and received treatment at the hospital before being discharged. The F-150 driver, who was not impaired, will not be charged. In a separate incident just moments later, another Dallas County sheriff's deputy was injured in a crash on northbound I-35 near Reunion Boulevard. At around 3:19 a.m., the deputy's squad car lost control in a curve, hitting a wall and a pickup truck before coming to a stop in the median. The deputy was treated for minor injuries at a nearby hospital and later released.
