BRENTWOOD, Tenn. (WTVF) — A Brentwood police officer was injured overnight while trying to stop a stolen vehicle.
Brentwood police said officers were called to an area of Fountainhead Drive after a resident reported seeing a suspicious vehicle.
Police got to the scene and found a black Honda CRV, which fled at a high rate of speed.
Spike strips were deployed at the intersection near Franklin Road, which caused the driver of the suspect vehicle to swerve and hit a police vehicle. The impact of that crash caused the cruiser to hit Officer Brien Fletcher, who was on foot nearby.
He was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
The suspect vehicle got away and hasn’t been found. It’s a 2017 model with Tennessee tag FW8348 and had been stolen out of Nolensville.
Police are looking for two suspects in the case.
