Police: Officer caused wreck that flipped patrol car
A Raleigh police officer caused a wreck last week that left her patrol car overturned and blocked traffic on Capital Boulevard for more than an hour, according to an accident report released Wednesday.
Posted — UpdatedOfficer Lindsay Hankins was northbound on McDowell Street, where it curves into Capital Boulevard at about 4 p.m. Nov. 4 when she ran off the road to the left and hit a concrete median barrier, the report states.
The patrol car bounced off the barrier and clipped a 2000 Honda driven by Frank Lebron Jr., of Wake Forest. Hankins then over-corrected and ran back into and up the median barrier, flipping the patrol car onto its top, the report states.
Neither Hankins nor Lebron was seriously injured in the wreck.
