Final narrative
Two officers were inspecting an SUV that was pulling a trailer. An officer asked the driver to pull forward a little while the injured officer was inspecting the trailer hitch area. As the vehicle moved forward, the injured officer was knocked down and became wedged between the trailer driver's side tire and axle and dragged approximately one foot before the vehicle stopped. The injured officer was hospitalized for a fractured lower left leg that required surgery.
