An official from the Genesee County Sheriff’s Department said that the 35-year-old male driver fled the scene, moments after the deputy made contact.  

The deputy, who was still in the window of the vehicle, was dragged for a short distance. He then lost his balance and fell, sustaining a serious head injury.

The deputy was transported to a nearby hospital for immediate treatment of his head wound. 

The suspect has since been apprehended.
