Bondurant with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.The deputy was"compressed on the airbag and my husband and father-in-law pulled him out,” said Mackenzie Grant, who witnessed the crash.
When the Good Samaritan family approached the deputy, he advised them to go help the driver in the sedan first, she said. “He told my husband and father-in-law to go grab the other guy before helping him. Another police officer got him out of the car… and got him safe,” Grant said. Bondurant confirmed that the driver was a 45-year-old Hispanic man who was allegedly drunk and speeding on the parkway. He will face charges, officials said.
