Fort Bend County deputy badly injured in car accident

Ford Bend County Sheriff’s deputy John Norsworthy was badly injured in a car accident Monday night while en route to back up another deputy on a traffic stop. The Fort Bend sheriff’s office is organizing a blood drive to help the injured lawman. The blood drive will be held at the Fort Bend County Sheriff’s office at 1410 Williams Way Boulevard on Wednesday December 29th from 10:00am to 4:00pm and anyone aged 17-years or older can donate blood. Deputy Norsworthy was airlifted from the scene of the accident to Memorial Hermann Hospital downtown where he is being treated for a head injury and internal bleeding. Deputy Norsworthy is married and a father of two. Unfortunately car accidents are the leading cause of death and serious injury to law enforcement officers in the United States.
