A drunk driver slammed his car into a police officer during a traffic stop in Fort Worth, Texas, on July 7.
Dashcam footage from Officer Matt Lesell’s cruiser shows him standing next to a car he pulled over on the Interstate 30 in east Fort Worth. A separate white car then came crashing onto the car and sending Lesell flying. He suffered a fractured vertebra and a hyperextended foot, according to the Star-Telegram.
