A HCSO deputy is currently in critical condition at Memorial Hermann Hospital after a major car accident Monday morning. Deputy Felix Dlouhy's patrol car was broadsided (t-boned) by a white-colored Chevrolet Tahoe SUV on Beltway 8 at Crosby Freeway around 2:30 a.m. The police car was forced up an embankment in the crash and a woman was ejected from the SUV.
Deputy Dlouhy was taken by life flight helicopter to Memorial Hermann where his condition was listed as critical but stable. Sergeant Dlouhy has been with Harris County Sheriff's Office since 1982 and is a supervisor in the department. Channel 2's story is here.
Update: A story on Channel 13's web site indicates that the collision may actually have been Deputy Dlouhy's fault. The story identifies the driver of the white SUV as 23-year old Megan Vickers who was driving home to Crosby alone in her vehicle after watching Twilight at the movie theater. According to the story, Deputy Dlouhy was the fourth patrol unit to go through the intersection with lights and sirens activated, but the Deputy's lights changed to red as he went through, causing the collision. Megan Vickers suffered a broken arm in the crash.
