UPDATE: Police Activity in the area of G Street and 5th Street in Union City... Morning all, we just wanted to share some information about police activity late last night into early this morning. One of our officers was driving a police vehicle in the area of G Street and 5th Street, when a Toyota Prius traveling at a high rate of speed hit the driver side rear door. The impact sent the marked police vehicle into a neighboring front yard, injuring our officer and totally destroying both vehicles. The Toyota was occupied with multiple people at the time of the collision. Officers were able to detain one of the occupants, the other passengers and driver fled the crash on foot. Arriving officers blocked a number of streets and conducted a large area search for the other occupants. The driver and other passengers were not located during the search. Our officer sustained some head and neck injuries and was taken to a local emergency room. Thankfully our officer was treated and released from the hospital early this morning. We were very luckily the initial impact was behind our officers door and did not cause more significant injuries. A close call for our PD family and our community. Anyone with information about this incident is encouraged to call or contact Union City Police Department.
