Both Senior Constables, who are based in the Hills Fleurieu Local Service Area, were taken to the South Coast Hospital for treatment but have since been discharged.

Local resident John Williams told 7NEWS he heard a “roaring noise and a huge bang” when the Ford ploughed into the police car.

The 48-year-old female driving the Ford Sedan was seriously injured and is fighting for her life at the Flinders Medical Centre, but the male passenger travelling with her was not injured.
