A constable deputy is fighting for his life after a heart-stopping collision in Atascocita caused by a driver now on the run, suspected of his third DWI. The deputy from Constable Mark Herman's Office was working traffic control with the Atascocita Fire Department on Atascocita Road and Eagle Springs Pkwy when the incident occurred on January 28, according to a Facebook post by the precinct.
With emergency lights blazing that evening, the deputy's vehicle blocked the westbound traffic lane, only to be slammed into from behind by suspect Dustin Lukavsky, who was allegedly intoxicated. Despite having their sirens on, sources say, the patrol vehicle was totaled and the deputy suffered critical injuries.
Lukavsky, after hitting the patrol car, was found showing multiple signs of intoxication at the scene. Both the deputy and the suspect were rushed to a local hospital. A blood warrant, later executed, is set to determine the precise level of intoxication. The precinct's social media update indicates that this isn't Lukavsky's first brush with the law—he has two prior DWI convictions.
"Dustin Lukavsky is currently WANTED by law enforcement for his third offense of Driving While Intoxicated," Constable Mark Herman issued a statement, urging the public to reach out to dispatch or local law enforcement with any details concerning his whereabouts. The search for the suspect has local authorities on high alert.
