WASHINGTON — A D.C. police motorcycle officer who waited almost 20 minutes for an ambulance after being struck by an alleged drunk driver March 5 left the hospital Tuesday, News4’s Jackie Bensen reported.
Officer Sean Hickman flashed a thumbs up as he rolled out of the National Rehabilitation Hospital under his own power, though not on on his preferred set of wheels.
The initial call for a pedestrian down March 5 came at 6:34 p.m. A D.C. fire engine with a paramedic on board arrived at 6:42 p.m., but no D.C. ambulances were available, according to D.C. Fire & EMS records. Ten minutes later, a Prince George’s County ambulance arrived, and at 7:03 p.m., that ambulance took Hickman to MedStar Washington Hospital Center with a crushed leg.
