Driver Using A Mobile Phone Injures Police Officer And Another Pedestrian
The dramatic moment when a mobile phone-using driver hit a police officer then crashed into a pedestrian and another vehicle was caught on surveillance video in east China's Anhui Province on Monday.
The accident took place at 07:16 in Funan County, when a black vehicle suddenly accelerated and veered right, sending a police officer flying into the air.
The vehicle kept moving until hitting a pedestrian and a white vehicle parked on the roadside.
The police officer was diagnosed with serious head injury and a dislocated shoulder, while the pedestrian has a broken leg. Both are in stable conditions in the hospital.
The driver of the black vehicle, a local resident surnamed Zhang, was interrogated by police. He said that he was making a phone call when the accident occurred and was not paying attention to the traffic conditions. Zhang told police he accidently stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.
