A Tarrant County Sheriff's Office lieutenant was seriously injured Tuesday morning in a hit-and-run crash, a spokesperson for the sheriff's office said.
Around 5:36 a.m., the lieutenant was on her way to work when she came upon a crash near Interstate 35W and Berry Street in Fort Worth, according to the spokesperson.
Lt. Jacqueline Smith got out of her car to check on the crash victims. When she and another person were standing outside of their vehicles, a third vehicle struck one of the parked vehicles causing it to strike them both, pinning them between the wreckage and retaining wall, the sheriff's office said.
Smith underwent surgery for her injuries, officials said. She currently remains in the hospital.
"She has a long road to recovery. Please keep her in thoughts and prayers," the sheriff's office said.
Fort Worth police are investigating the crash.
