MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- A Wright County deputy was struck by another vehicle, causing considerable damage to the squad car on Sunday night.

During the traffic stop, the deputy's squad car was struck by another vehicle.

There was considerable damage to both the squad car and the vehicle that collided with it.
