New York Officer Critical After Crash
Submitted by Fred on Mon, 08/17/2009 - 3:57pm.
A Buffalo police officer remains in critical condition at Erie
County Medical Center after his patrol car crashed early Saturday morning while responding to a call.
Christopher Tomasula, 31, a rookie officer for the Northeast District, underwent surgery Saturday morning after suffering injuries that included trauma to his head and chest, Police Commissioner H. Mc- Carthy Gipson said Saturday afternoon.
Following surgery, Tomasula was in "critical but stable" condition, Gipson said.
"He had surgery [Saturday] morning to repair some of the damage and that was successful," Gipson said.
