According to DPS, on May 4, Nakishia Samuel, 40, of Lufkin, was involved in a motor vehicle crash on Business US 59 in Angelina County that injured Lufkin Police Officer Seth Thompson.

The preliminary investigation indicates that Thompson was investigating a crash when he was struck by a vehicle driven by Samuel. Officer Thompson was transported by medical helicopter to UT Tyler for treatment.
