Deputy Struck, Man Arrested After Sheetz Brawl

0:00This is Durham News Today, every story, every city, every day. A major traffic backup snarled Joan Sausage Road in Wake County on Friday after a sheriff's deputy was struck by a car. Deputies blocked the road with several vehicles, and one man was seen in the back of a cruiser. The injured deputy was rushed to a hospital, though the extent of his injuries remains unknown. The trouble began at a nearby Sheet's gas station, a witness told reporters. The man had been verbally harassing employees and was asked to leave. When the deputy intervened, it turned into a physical fight. The deputy deployed pepper spray during the scuffle. The man then got into his vehicle, hit the deputy, and sped onto Joan Sausage Road where he collided with a truck. That crash caused huge delays for drivers as authorities shut down the area. Aerial footage showed the full scene with roadblocks and deputies securing the site. Officials have not released more details yet, but news teams are pressing for updates on the deputy's condition and any charges against the man.
