Police Officer Gladys Rosete Hurt in Port Hueneme Accident on Ventura Road near East Clara Road
Port Hueneme, California (February 11, 2019) – A police officer was injured when a vehicle being loaded onto a tow truck fell and struck her on Sunday night in Port Hueneme, according to the Port Hueneme Police Department.
The incident was reported at about 8:18 p.m. February 10, in the 500 block of Ventura Road near East Clara Road.
Police said Officer Gladys Rosete was at the scene of an earlier accident where a van had crashed into three parked vehicles.
Rosete 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 Officer Rosete. 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.
Pacific Attorney Group hopes that the person injured in this accident will recover soon.
