When officers arrived, they spotted the suspects trying to steal a vehicle before they ran back to the orange car and tried to flee.
Multiple officers boxed in the car and used tire deflation devices in an effort to stop the suspects. The orange car hit a cruiser head-on, disabling both vehicles.
The people inside the vehicle fled on foot to a nearby apartment complex, according to police. Officers were not able to find them.
The officer in the cruiser that was hit was treated and released from a local hospital.
A second cruiser was grazed, but no additional damage or injuries were reported.
Police determined the orange car was recently stolen in Kettering. The vehicle was recovered at the scene.
Officers are continuing to investigate. Anyone with information can call the Huber Heights Police Division at 937-233-2080.
