Three police officers are injured after a lorry hits a patrol car in Newry. Outlets report that officers were in the vehicle when the collision occurs, and the lorry remains involved as it continues after the impact.
According to accounts of the incident, police receive a report that the lorry is swerving and appears to be travelling on the wrong side of the road. The reports add that the driver does not stop for police, and the patrol car is struck as the lorry proceeds.

Differences are limited to wording about how officers observed the lorry and the specific phrasing of how the patrol car is hit.
