Florida: Orlando PD officer severely injured in July hit-and-run sees little improvement

Orlando Police Officer William Anderson, who was badly injured when he was run down by fleeing suspects in July, discussed his injuries in an emotional news conference on Wednesday.

Anderson has not returned to work and doesn’t know whether he'll ever wear his police uniform again. He suffered a traumatic brain injury when teenage suspects ran him over during a traffic stop on July 13.

As a result of the hit-and-run, Anderson said he suffers severe spinal, head, neck and back pain and has seen little improvement since he was released from the hospital. He said he has tremors in his hand and has impaired vision because of his brain bouncing against the back of his eyes.
