A Dallas County<\/a> sheriff’s deputy was seriously injured early Saturday when he was struck and thrown off an overpass while investigating a crash on Interstate 35, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 3:11 a.m. Saturday on northbound I-35, just north of Interstate 635 and over Harry Hines Boulevard, according to Doug Sisk, public information officer for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sisk said the deputy was investigating a crash when a Tesla<\/a> driver became involved in a secondary collision at the same scene. The driver was detained and placed inside the deputy’s patrol vehicle. Moments later, a Ford F-150 lost control on the slick roadway and slammed into the deputy’s vehicle, which was parked at the crash site, authorities said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The deputy, who was standing between his patrol car and the bridge railing, was hit and thrown off the overpass<\/a>, landing on Harry Hines Boulevard below. He sustained serious injuries and was rushed to a local hospital, Sisk said.<\/p>\n

The Tesla driver, who had been sitting in the deputy’s squad car, was also hurt and taken to the hospital but was later released. The F-150 driver was not impaired and will not face charges, Sisk said.<\/p>\n

Second Dallas deputy injured in separate crash minutes later<\/p>\n

Just minutes after the overpass incident, another Dallas County sheriff’s deputy was hurt in a separate crash on northbound I-35 near Reunion Boulevard.<\/p>\n

At about 3:19 a.m., a sheriff’s squad car lost control in a curve, struck a wall and a pickup truck, and came to rest in the median, Sisk said.<\/p>\n

The deputy was taken to a nearby hospital, treated for minor injuries, and released.<\/p>\n
