"Also on Friday, sometime shortly after 7pm, a team of police officers were conducting vehicular check point at the Red Creek checkpoint in Santa Elena. Whilst on the checkpoint, a white pickup approached the checkpoint at high speed and one of the officers who was standing in the middle of the highway near the checkpoint sign was hit by the bumper of the vehicle and also during the process, he was hit to the left shoulder by the rear view mirror of the vehicle. So far an intensive investigation has been launched. We are following several leads at this point in time.
