An Evanston police officer is in stable condition after being hit by a dump truck Saturday morning.

The officer was putting out stop signs at the intersection of Dodge Avenue and Emerson Street at about 9:40 a.m.because the power was out and the streetlight wasn’t working.

The officer was walking in the northbound crosswalk when she was struck by a dump truck that was travelling eastbound on Emerson Street. The 19-year-old officer was transported to Evanston Hospital with several injuries.

As of Sunday afternoon, the officer was still in stable condition with unresolved internal injuries, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said.

The intersection opened up later that afternoon, and police are investigating the incident.
