Wisconsin: Sun Prairie squad car struck by intoxicated driver, police say

A 46-year-old Sun Prairie man was arrested Friday night after allegedly driving under the influence and striking a Sun Prairie police car.

According to Sgt. Ray Thomson, police received a report of a reckless driver near Highway 151 and West Main Street in Sun Prairie just after 11:30 p.m. The on-duty officer involved in the crash spotted the reported vehicle going eastbound on West Main Street as the officer was going westbound on the same street.

The operator of the reported vehicle, Douglas Smith, crossed into the officer's lane of traffic and struck the front driver's side of the squad car, said officials. Officials said that Smith continued driving after striking the squad car, drove into a commercial parking lot, and struck a small tree and a building.
