ANGELINA COUNTY – At approximately 8:30 p.m. this evening, a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper suffered non-life threatening injuries after being struck by a vehicle on State Highway 94, just west of Lufkin. 

 

The preliminary information indicates the Trooper was outside of his marked patrol vehicle— with emergency lights activated—attempting to stop a motorist for an offense. The vehicle that struck the Trooper had reportedly reduced its speed before the collision occurred. 

The driver, whose identity is not immediately available at this time, stopped at the scene of the crash until first responders arrived. 

 

An ambulance transported the Trooper to CHI St. Luke’s Hospital in Lufkin. 

This is an ongoing investigation, and further information is not available for release.
