Port Hueneme, California (February 11, 2019) – A Port Hueneme Police Department officer was injured when a vehicle being loaded onto a tow truck fell on her on Sunday night in Port Hueneme, according to the authorities.
The incident was reported at about 7:18 p.m. February 10, in the 500 block of Ventura Road near East Clara Road.
Police said the officer was at the scene of an earlier crash where a van had crashed into three parked vehicles.
The officer had requested a tow truck to the scene and as the van was being loaded onto the angled bed of the tow truck, it suddenly rolled off and pinned the officer under the van.
Firefighters responded to the incident and used the “jaws of life” to lift the van and pull out the officer. She was then transported to St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Oxnard, and was said to be in good and stable condition.
The accident caused a closure of the northbound lanes of Ventura Boulevard as the scene was investigated.
The authorities said police are investigating the incident as an industrial accident.
