STOCKTON, Calif. — Update 10:30 a.m.:

A California Highway Patrol officer was injured after being hit by a vehicle while helping a disabled motorist on Interstate 5 Thursday morning.

According to a report from CHP Stockton, the officer was on the right shoulder of northbound I-5, north of SR-4, helping the driver of a broken-down vehicle when just after 7 a.m. a man driving an Audi lost control of the car. The Audi struck a Chevy, causing minor damage, before hitting the CHP officer and a Ford.

The driver of the Audi, identified as 39-year-old Anthony P. Apodaca, was arrested for violation of driving under the influence.

Update:

All lanes of northbound I-5 have reopened, according to a tweet from CalTrans District 10.
