Pleasant Prairie police say one of its squads responded to an emergency call around 5:45 a.m. The officer had the squad's emergency equipment activated and was northbound in the 9000 block of Highway H. when a southbound driver struck the squad.
The squad car driver's side was struck and the vehicle was significantly damaged. The officer turned at the last moment and avoided a head-on collision, police say.
The officer was treated and released to full duty from a local hospital. The other driver was uninjured.
