Police said a man driving under the influence struck a Jackson Police Department car, hurting two officers.
The patrol car was stopped on West Broadway, west of Flat Creek Drive, with its lights flashing on Saturday at 1 a.m. Both officers were inside the car when a Dodge pickup driven by Evan Dorsey, 37, of Jackson, struck the left rear of the patrol car, the Teton County Sheriff’s Office said.
