The officers were investigating the initial crash involving a Kia Stinger and semi truck for about 15 minutes before the second crash occurred, according to a police report.
A 2013 Freightliner semi truck drove alongside the cruisers and struck the side mirror of one before hitting the back corner of the semi involved in the initial crash.
When the crash occurred, one officer was sitting in the driver’s seat of the car writing a citation and the other was standing at the open front passenger door.
The man said he did not realize he hit the cruiser and the other semi, according to the police report.
