“A motorist failed to stop for the closed road and collided with the occupied stationary police cruiser,” a Trotwood Police Department statement read.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol investigated the crash involving the Trotwood cruiser, which was struck in the front by a 2017 Toyota RAV4 driven by a 64-year-old Trotwood man. The impact forced the cruiser off the road to the right, a report filed by the patrol stated.
King suffered injuries described as minor and was taken to Miami Valley Hospital for treatment.
The other driver was not injured.
The crash report indicated that troopers suspected marijuana and other drugs were involved in the crash. The driver of the other vehicle was arrested following the crash. The Dayton Daily News is not naming him because he has not been formally charged.
