Police, meanwhile, released dashcam video of the Robbinsville Police Officer Connor Boyle being struck by the fleeing driver.
Rachel Glatt, 52, of East Windsor, was arrested in the hit-and-run crash, police said. She was charged with aggravated assault on a police officer and assault by auto.
Boyle was released from Capitol Health Regional Trauma Center on Monday, April 24 and is expected to fully recover, Robbinsville police said on Facebook.
Boyle was assisting the driver of a disabled vehicle on Route 130 at about 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, police said.
Video shows Glatt's vehicle sideswipe Boyle’s patrol car before hitting Boyle and the driver’s side door of the disabled vehicle. Boyle will begin working as a school resource officer at Pond Road Middle School in the township, police said.
“We would like to also thank our community, our elected officials, local business owners, our colleagues in law enforcement, fire and EMS for your outpouring of support, thoughts, prayers and words of encouragement,“ the Facebook post said.
“They mean the world to Patrolman Boyle and all of the police officers and dispatchers of the Robbinsville police department."
