A Metro Police Captain was injured when he was struck by another vehicle while sitting in his cruiser at a road construction site.
The woman driving the other vehicle never attempted to sweve or apply her brakes before striking the captain who was sitting in his vehicle with the emergency lights activated.
The woman was uncooperative and talking on her cell phone while emergency workers were freeing her from her car which she was pinned in for at least 30 minutes.
Her failure to avoid the cruiser with it's blue lights activated coupled with her actions after the accident led officers on the scene to suspect she had been driving under the influence.
Both parties were taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center where the woman was listed in stable condition with serious injuries, and the captain was being examined after complaining of neck and back pain.
