(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A Colorado Springs Police cruiser was damaged after a van towing a snowmobile fled from officers and hit the cruiser.
According to the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD), around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, officers responded to a welfare check in the 1600 block of North Murray Boulevard, near the intersection of Palmer Park Boulevard. The officers received information that two people were possibly passed out in a van in a parking lot.
When officers arrived and made contact with the van, the driver reportedly woke up. The officers noticed the van was running, and when they ordered the driver to turn it off, the driver allegedly put the van in gear and drove away toward a dead end.
CSPD said the van turned around in the parking lot, and on its way out, hit an unoccupied police cruiser, causing damage. The van then left the area.
The suspect vehicle is described as a white passenger van hauling a trailer with a snowmobile on it. No officers were injured in the incident.
