A Nowata police officer is in the hospital after getting hit by a car yesterday evening.

Nowata County Sheriff's Office deputies told our partners at News on 6 that the officer was hit while directing traffic after a car stalled on the side of the road and a trailer went into a ditch. Deputies said the officer was going to be evacuated by helicopter, but had to be driven to the hospital because of severe weather.
