BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY — According to the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Office, on early July 9, Deputy Billy Bryant was conducting a traffic stop when another vehicle struck his car.
Bryant had stopped a vehicle due to an equipment violation on US31, near Lowell Road. The vehicle pulled over to the left side of the road.
Bryant had his emergency lights on when another vehicle hit the end of his car, causing his vehicle to hit the car he pulled over.
Bryant exited his car and made sure both drivers of the two vehicles were okay. The Columbus Police Department responded to the scene.
The driver of the vehicle that struck Bryant was arrested for Operating a Motor Vehicle While Intoxicated.
“We are all thankful that Deputy Bryant was able to walk away from this collision without serious injuries,” Chief Deputy Chris Lane said. “This is another reminder of how driving under the influence can be dangerous for all members of the community including law enforcement.”
