A Chicago police officer was hit by a car Thursday morning as he made a traffic stop on the Northwest side.
According to reports, the officer had pulled over a woman near Northwest Highway and Foster Avenue just after 3 a.m. Thursday for driving erratically. A tow truck driver had flagged down the officer to alert the cop of the driver and was just behind.
As the officer got out of his car and was approaching the woman's, another car hit the woman's head-on sending her car into the tow truck, bouncing back and then striking the officer.
The officer was being treated for a possible broken arm and injuries to his chest. Both the woman and the tow truck driver were injured but were being treated at local hospitals.
Police are investigating the incident and additional charges may be made.
