• Metro Police Captain Hit by Drunk Driver on I-24

  A Metro police captain was hit by another vehicle while sitting in his car at a road construction site.
  The woman driving the car never attempted to swerve or apply the brakes in an attempt to avoid the captain's vehicle which was stationary with it's overhead lights on.
  The woman was pinned in her vehicle, talking on her cell phone, until rescue crews could free her.  When asked about the accident by officers she was uncooperative.
  Her demeanor at the scene and failure to avoid the captain's vehicle led officers at the scene to suspect that she was driving under the influence.
  Both parties were taken to Vanderbilt Medical Center where the woman is listed as stable with serious injuries.  The metro captain was being examined due to back and neck pain and is also listed as in stable condition.
