- Three people were hurt in the impact, including the officer, the wrecker driver, and the woman the pair had stopped to assist.
- Investigators reported minor injuries for the officer and the wrecker driver, while the woman suffered a more serious leg injury, and all were hospitalized with non-life-threatening conditions.
