FAIRFIELD, Calif. — Two California Highway Patrol officers were struck by a suspected drunk driver after pulling over another car on an interstate early Sunday, authorities said.
The officers were “conducting an enforcement stop” along Interstate 80 in Solano County around 2 a.m. when a vehicle “left the roadway and struck them,” the highway patrol said in a statement.
One officer sustained major injuries and was airlifted to a trauma center in stable condition, the statement said.
The other officer has been released after being treated at a hospital, officials said.
“The driver of the errant vehicle was subsequently arrested on charges of felony DUI,” the statement said.
