The teenager, her 18-year-old male passenger and the 63-year-old driver of the Yaris managed to escape serious injury.
'Obviously, police turning up to a police officer injured is extremely upsetting for first responders and it was a devastating accident,' acting inspector Melissa Thompson told reporters.
