An Austin man is still in critical condition Tuesday morning.

More than two weeks ago, a veteran Austin Police Department officer hit a motorcyclist with his vehicle in a north Austin neighborhood.

Shortly after 9 a.m. May 29, Officer Damon Dunn had just finished making a traffic stop. He had yet to turn off his dashboard camera, when he ran a stop sign and crashed into a 74-year-old man.

Dunn's fellow officers and a supervisor responded to reconstruct the crash.

APD Assistant Chief Sean Mannix confirmed Officer Dunn ran the stop sign at the corner of Magazine and Lamplight Village.

After emergency crews determined Officer Dunn was not hurt, his commander sent him home. The veteran officer had more than 10 years on the force. He took a few days off before returning to his full duties.

"The officer was pretty remorseful and felt pretty strongly about the collision taking place [and] that it was in the best interest to let him take the time off that was appropriate for him. He's on full duty status and functioning fine," Mannix said.

Officer Damon Dunn's dashboard camera captured it all on tape, but due to the graphic nature of the video, News 8 has chosen to stop the video, prior to impact.

"When you look at the size of the patrol force and the size of the department in general, the number of staffing hours that take place driving a motor vehicle, collisions are actually a fairly rare occurrence. And it's extremely rare that we have one with the injuries to the extent that we saw in this collision, involving an officer," Mannix said.

The department is conducting an internal investigation to see if there will be any disciplinary action.

The victim's family says it's focusing on the 74-year-old's recovery, and has not talked about legal action.
