An officer was injured in the collision and fire crews had to cut the car in order to free him.

After being released the officer, Justin Thompson, was airlifted to a nearby hospital where he is now conscious and speaking with staff.

Younger was treated at a hospital as well, and was sent to jail.

The cause of the crash is unknown and is under investigation.

Earlier this month shocking images emerged of a bikini-clad woman drunkenly smashing a police windscreen with her bare feet after being arrested.

The woman was detained for being drunk and disorderly while wearing only her swimsuit after starting a brawl at a swimming pool.

After being locked in a squad car, she became frustrated - and planted her bare feet on the windscreen and pushed until it began to break.

The woman then moved her feet and pushed again - forcing the broken windscreen completely out of the vehicle.

The incident was caught on camera by an eye-witness with a smartphone who uploaded it to social media where it quickly went viral.
