LOGAN — Police say a woman hit two police vehicles and injured three officers while she led them on a pursuit in Logan early Friday
Kindy Ann Viator, 37, was arrested and booked into the Cache County Jail for investigation of assault on a peace officer/military with use of a dangerous weapon and failure to respond to officers' signal to stop, causing an injury.
Shortly after midnight on Friday, officers answered a call about a woman "acting erratically" in the roadway close to a vehicle. When officers arrived, they saw the woman sitting in a car parked diagonally across the road. They attempted to speak to the woman, but she sped off, driving through a parking lot, according to a police booking affidavit.
Logan police say the officers eventually followed the woman into a dead end. The woman turned around and crashed into the police car following her, and another police vehicle, as she fled the dead end, the affidavit states.
Additional officers joined the chase, the affidavit states, pursuing Viator into another dead end. She again collided with a couple of police cars, according to the affidavit, causing a wrist injury to one officer and a cut on one officer's head. She again fled the dead end area.
An officer in a car Viator had already struck followed her, and they crashed head-on, disabling both vehicles, the affidavit states. The officer suffered injuries to his arms and chest, as well as injuries caused by a deployed airbag.
Logan police say Viator then surrendered without further incident. They are unaware of a motive for Viator fleeing police, according to the affidavit.
