Accident on I-44 Sends Three to Hospital

The investigation continues this morning into an accident on I-44 that ultimately sent a motorcyclist, the driver of a car and a Burkburnett Police officer to United Regional Hospital.

At around 8:30 pm Wednesday, a male motorcyclist was traveling in the west bound lane of I-44 near PPG when he was struck from behind by a female driver in an SUV.  The SUV driver over-corrected and lost control, causing the SUV to roll.  Both were taken to United Regional.  Both victims were reportedly in stable condition.

A Burkburnett Police officer who was on the scene directing traffic was struck by another car a short time later.  He was rushed to United Regional and as of Thursday morning was listed in stable condition.  The names of the victims have not been released.
