A suspected drunken driver slammed into a Philadelphia Police officer’s sport utility vehicle as that officer secured a scene of a deadly police shooting overnight.
The pickup truck driver struck the side of the officer’s SUV as the yet-to-be-identified officer blocked traffic along Cobbs Creek Parkway near Christian Street around 2 a.m. Thursday.
The officer, who was sitting in the patrol vehicle at the time, suffered bumps and bruises but didn’t break any bones, said police. Doctors at Penn Presbyterian Hospital treated him for the injuries.
The uninjured DUI suspect was arrested and is expected to be charged.
The officer was on the scene after officers shot and killed a man who injured five people, including his son and daughter, during a stabbing spree.
