A Chevy Traverse struck another vehicle and then careened into the police vehicle. The detective - and sole occupant of the vehicle - was transported to the hospital in stable condition to undergo further evaluation. His current condition is not available.
The driver of the Traverse was also transported to the hospital in stable condition and appears to have possibly suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash.
