CALEDONIA, WI – A suspect who was responsible for causing a four-vehicle crash fled the scene and then returned, rear-ending a Caledonia police car, injuring themself on Monday.
This multi-automobile wreck happened before 8:45 a.m. in the 4900 block of Douglas Avenue, according to the Village of Caledonia Police Department. The officer had gotten out of their vehicle to investigate the collision when their car was rear-ended. The suspect is expected to be OK, only sustaining a “very minor injury after striking the patrol cruiser,” officials indicated.
