Rodriguez and the driver were seen on dash cam footage running towards the shoulder of the road as car headlights are seen shining in their direction.

According to CBS affiliate, KDBC News, the suspect had driven her vehicle into one of the patrol cars, which then struck the officer.

Before Rodriguez was hit, however, he was also seen pushing the suspect he had been testing out of the way.

He only received minor injuries.

A 23-year-old woman has been charged with driving under the influence.
