A San Marcos Police Department officer was struck by a vehicle Saturday night while responding to call on northbound Interstate 35.
Officer Claudia Cormier suffered life-threatening injuries after she was hit by a 2000 Ford Expedition driven by Neil Sheehan, 58 of Flower Mound. Sheehan was arrested for intoxication assault on a public servant — a second-degree felony — and failure to slow causing serious bodily injury, according to a press release.
Cormier was transported to Ascension Seton Hays medical center, where she underwent emergency surgery. She is in stable condition but sedated pending further surgeries, officials said.
