An adult female in her 20s from the civilian vehicle was transported to the hospital in stable condition with fractured vertebrae where she currently remains. Two officers in the police vehicle were also transported to hospital in stable condition, were treated and released. One of the officers has a suspected broken arm.

Police had Main Street closed in both directions around the crash site as they investigated the incident.
