Officer Injured On Turnpike By Hit-and-run Dump Truck

August 17, 2005

A Broward Sheriff's Office motorcycle deputy was injured in a hit-and-run accident on Florida's Turnpike near Interstate 75, officials said. Deputy Donnie Jackson, 37, was on his way to work at the Pompano Beach District Office when the crash occurred, said Sheriff's Spokesman Hugh Graf.

Jackson's motorcycle and a dump truck collided, throwing Jackson to the pavement, Graf said. The truck kept going, and Jackson was taken to Memorial Hospital West in Pembroke Pines, suffering from severe road rash. His injuries are not life threatening.
