Hit-And-Run Suspect Arrested For Hitting Cop Car

COVINA Covina police arrested a female driver suspected of colliding with a police car and driving under the influence. The crash sent an officer to a hospital to be checked out early Saturday, a sergeant said.

The collision at Cypress Street and Barranca Avenue occurred shortly before midnight Friday, according Covina police Sgt. Ray Marquez.

The driver, a woman, and her female passenger fled the scene, but were tracked down and arrested by California Highway Patrol officers, Marquez said.

Police withheld the driver's name.

The officer was examined at a hospital for back pain and later released, Marquez said.

California Highway Patrol officers are handling the investigation.
