A 20-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly hitting a police cruiser and an officer before fleeing the scene, later crashing into a home in North Philadelphia.

Police said the incident happened around 2:30 p.m. when officers were attempting to tow a red 2007 Chrysler Sebring that the woman was driving. Police said the women backed the car into a PPD car and then struck the officer before leaving the scene. The officer has non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

The driver then crashed into a house at 8th and Cambria streets, about a mile away from the initial scene. The driver fled on foot, police said.

Chopper 3 was live over the crash scene, showing a red car sideways and on the front steps in front of a house.
