Waco, TX : Police officer injured in two-vehicle crash on I-35 near South 17th Street on Sunday evening, April 17, 2016

A Waco police sergeant suffered injuries after a teenage motorist made an improper turn on Interstate 35 and struck the on-duty officer Sunday evening, Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said.

Waco police Sgt. D.J. Adams, 32, was struck on I-35 near South 17th Street when 19-year-old Kelsey Marie Stiles, of Lorena, struck Adams’ patrol vehicle when she made an improper left turn onto the interstate, Swanton said. The impact caused Adams’ airbag to deploy when Stiles’ vehicle veered into the officer’s lane.

Adams was taken to Baylor Scott & White Hillcrest Medical Center with minor injuries, Swanton said. He was treated and released from the hospital later Sunday evening.

Police reported that Stiles also suffered minor injuries, but declined to be taken to an area hospital. She was cited in the incident, Swanton said.
