Hillsborough County deputy seriously injured after getting run over by suspect in traffic stop
By: A deputy with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office was seriously injured after getting run over by a suspect he was trying to pull over.
According to HCSO, early Friday morning at 12:05 a.m., the deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a black BMW on Bearss Avenue near Nebraska Avenue.
As seen in bodycam video, once the deputy got out of his car, the suspect drove off, evading the traffic stop. The deputy can then be heard saying the ‘vehicle is fleeing at a high rate of speed eastbound on Bearss.’
Twenty minutes later, at 12:25 a.m., the deputy, identified as Kalin Hall, 33, attempted a second traffic stop at Plantation Oaks Drive, and the suspect ran over Hall as he was approaching the BMW.
Bodycam video showed Hall quickly turn on his lights before running out of his patrol vehicle, at which point the vehicle speeds off, striking him.
Hall then called for backup, at which point several sheriff's office personnel and Tampa Police Department officers responded.
"He ran over me," Hall can be heard saying in the video. "I need EMS. My leg's broken."
Hall was taken to Tampa General Hospital with a fractured leg, according to HCSO.
