Two police officers sustained injuries after their vehicle was rammed in Jonesborough on Monday afternoon, October 20.
At around 1pm Neighbourhood Policing Team officers were responding with lights and sirens to reports of a collision when a black Toyota sped away from the police vehicle on Edenappa Road.
The Toyota, which was not involved in the initial collision report, then struck the police vehicle along with an approaching Citreon van.
The police vehicle was also pushed by the force of the collision into the rear of a Skoda which had been travelling in front.
The Toyota then made off from the scene in the direction of the border.
Both officers required hospital treatment but have returned to duty today. The police vehicle will now be off the road for a period for repairs.
