TACOMA — A Pierce County sheriff’s deputy who was hit by a suspected impaired driver last week has been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for a broken neck.
KCPQ-TV reports 25-year-old Daniel Munguia was charged Monday with vehicular assault for allegedly causing a collision with Deputy Sydney Davis in Parkland.
Investigators say Munguia told them he smoked marijuana before the crash, and that his blood-alcohol content was .107, which is above the legal limit of .08.
Davis and two other cars were responding to a domestic-violence call Thursday night when Munguia allegedly pulled out of a tavern parking lot in front of her. Court documents say she was unable to avoid hitting his vehicle and her car then plunged over an embankment.
