Virginia: New Hope for Virginia Beach Police Officer Hit by a Drunk Driver

As he returned to his car to run the license and registration, a drunk driver plowed into the back of his stopped police cruiser. He has very few solid memories about what happened after that.

“I have flash memories of seeing the car and realizing something was wrong , of seeing myself laying in the road and realizing I need to get out of the road and an uncontrollable feeling that they bad guy is going to get away and I need to get him,” Marriner told NewsChannel 3’s Todd Corillo.

The crash left Marriner with post-concussion syndrome resulting in sleepless nights, difficulty standing, trouble talking, headaches and confusion. It also cost him his job with the Virginia Beach Police Department when he was unable to recover and was medically retired.
