PACKWOOD, Wash. - A Lewis County sheriff's deputy has been critically injured in a collision with an elk near Packwood.
Officers said the 34-year-old deputy was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle late Monday with life-threatening injuries.
Deputy Stacy Brown said the deputy was responding to back up another deputy overnight on a domestic violence call when his car hit the elk at about 8:30 p.m. near milepost 130 on Highway 12.
It was not clear whether the elk was in the road or may have jumped in front of the deputy's vehicle.
"The deputy was unconscious when we got there, so we're still trying to piece that all together," Brown said.
