A Clark County sheriff’s deputy received minor injuries early Monday after being struck by a fleeing motorist.
The incident occurred about 3 a.m. near the intersection of Northeast 75th Street and Northeast 104th Avenue, in the Five Corners area north of Orchards.
According to a sheriff’s office news release, the deputy spotted a dark-colored older car parked on the shoulder of the road, with two women standing beside it. He pulled over, parked and walked toward the car, when the women jumped back into their car and accelerated toward the deputy.
He was struck by the car in his lower extremities and was later taken to a hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.
