Officer Injured on Coney Island Avenue

Saturday, January 7th, 2012

A plainclothes police officer who had stopped a car on Coney Island Avenue last night for a traffic stop was struck and pinned by a van that hit him and the car he’d pulled over.

The unnamed officer stopped a car on CIA near Dorchester at about 10:30pm, then according to the New York Post, as he was standing behind the car, a van crashed into him, trapping the officer’s legs between the van and the car. He was transported to Kings County, then transferred to Bellevue for surgery.
