ROMAN FOREST, Texas — A Roman Forest police officer hit and dragged by a pickup truck along North Loop 610 on Monday morning is in good condition.

Veteran officer Greg Sammon and a Harris County Precinct 1 Constable’s Office deputy were escorting a large load along the highway around 9:50 a.m. when a pickup truck involved in a crash rear-ended Sammon, Roman Forest Police Chief Stephen Carlisle said. Both the officer and his motorcycle were dragged for an unknown distance before the truck came to a stop near Kirkpatrick.

The officer was rushed by police escort to Memorial Hermann Hospital in an unknown condition, but his injuries are not life-threatening, according to Houston police. He was conscious and breathing as he was loaded into an ambulance, constable’s office spokesperson Kevin Quinn said.
