Around 8:22 p.m., an officer with CHP Contra Costa was conducting a stop on a Chevrolet on the right shoulder of southbound State Route 242, just south of State Route 4. A Mercedes heading south veered off the road and collided with the back of the parked Chevrolet, CHP said.

The force of the crash was so strong that it caused the Chevrolet to strike the CHP officer. The officer was taken to a local hospital and treated for her injuries. CHP says she will make a full recovery. The driver of the Mercedes was not injured in the crash, but they were arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.
