“When the passenger door opened the driver started reversing which pinned one of the officers between the suspect vehicle and another vehicle causing injury.”

The black Audi sustained significant damage to the passenger door as it was folded against the front fender, the statement says.

“The officer was transported to the hospital with minor injuries to his back and legs, and was released early this morning.

“If you recognize these individuals or the vehicle please contact Weber Area Dispatch at 801-395-8221.”
