A woman is fighting for her life after being struck by a Dallas Police officer’s patrol vehicle while they were responding to a disturbance call on Monday evening.
It happened in the 8700 block of Elam Road around 7:07 p.m. near Crawford Memorial Park.
Police said the investigation showed an officer in a marked squad car was traveling eastbound on the road and was responding to a call without lights and sirens activated.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was reportedly standing in the middle of the street when she ran in front of two cars trying to make a left turn onto Cedarcliff Drive. She then ran into the far-left lane where the officer was driving, and as a result, she was hit by the police cruiser.
