Dashboard camera captures driver slamming head-on into Massachusetts police cruiser

GREENFIELD — With his dashboard camera rolling, a Greenfield police officer captured the moment his cruiser was struck head-on by a passing car during a traffic stop. 

Officer Nicholas Limoges was sitting inside his cruiser Wednesday night when a 77-year-old Greenfield man drove his Toyota Corolla over the double yellow line and smashed into the cruiser.

Though police said he sustained minor injuries, Limoges immediately helped the other driver, offering medical assistance at the scene.
