The crash occurred around 5:40 p.m. in the area of 3rd and Raritan Avenue in the Camden County community. The impact caused the police car to flip over, and witnesses say the SUV had heavy front-end damage.
Authorities say they have developed some leads in the matter, but declined further comment Saturday.
The cause of the accident remains under investigation.
