WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. (CBS4) — A suspected drunk driver plowed into a police car at an intersection in Wheat Ridge Sunday, narrowly missing a tow truck driver standing a few feet away. It happened just before 2 a.m. on 38th Avenue, just east of Pierce Street.

The patrol car was parked behind the tow truck, while the tow truck driver was loading a vehicle that had been damaged in an earlier crash. The red truck was speeding westbound on 38th Avenue and plowed into the back of the patrol car. The patrol car was forced into the disabled car it had been protecting, and that vehicle was pushed up onto the sidewalk.

The red truck then turns around, and ends up on the sidewalk across the street and around the corner.
