A six-year veteran of the San Antonio Police Department has been elevated from critical to stable condition at University Hospital after being hit by a truck on Loop 410.

The accident happened Sunday evening as the 28 year-old officer was placing orange cones to protect a fellow officer who was working at the scene of another accident.

The man who struck the officer said he looked away from the road for a second and swerved his pickup truck to avoid the vehicles that had stopped on the highway. When he swerved he hit the officer. The man was charged for speeding but was not charged in connection to the accident.
