GRAPEVINE (KXAN) — A San Marcos police officer who lost her leg in 2019 after being hit by a suspected drunk driver was gifted a newly refurbished car Saturday morning.

Officer Claudia Cormier was cleaning up an accident on I-35 in May 2019 when she was hit by a suspected drunk driver.

Cormier lost her leg in the incident and the driver, Neil Sheehan, was arrested and charged with intoxication, assault on a public servant and failure to slow causing serious bodily injury.

On Sept. 11, Cormier was honored with a refurbished vehicle donated by GEICO and Caliber Collision-Lewisville during the opening ceremonies of the Back the Blue Motorcycle Rodeo.
