The Galveston County Sheriff’s Deputy suffered multiple injuries after being hit on Highway 87 during the Go Topless Jeep Weekend event

Around 1:30 a.m. the deputy was working on a crash on the freeway in Crystal Beach’s Holiday Beach subdivision when a separate vehicle struck the deputy, Trouchesset said.

The MP was taken to the UTMB with two broken legs, a broken arm and head injuries, according to officials. The deputy underwent surgery Sunday morning, but her condition is unknown.
