Texas: Video Shows Texas Police Officer Being Struck By A Car, Flung Into The Air
A Texas police officer is recovering after he was struck by a car and violently flung into the air during a traffic stop last month.
On July 7, at about 3 a.m., Fort Worth Officer Matt Lesell had just gotten out of his car to speak with a driver pulled to the side of an interstate when a passing vehicle slammed into him and the other car, as seen on newly released dashcam video.
“The next thing I knew, I was flying through the air,” Lesell recently told NBC DFW. “It felt like I was spinning through a washing machine.”
The video shows Lesell being thrown like a rag doll into the air, across the hood of the out-of-control car and onto the asphalt.
