"The incident happened on Crosslane, Sacriston at around 5.35pm and involved a Nissan Pathfinder.

"The officer received minor injuries whilst the occupants of the Nissan received no injuries."

The road was closed for around two hours whilst recovery of the vehicles took place.

A dog walker, who posted the picture online, said a police officer told her no one was seriously injured in the collision and escaped with 'cuts and bruises'.
