ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Authorities say an Orange County Sheriff's deputy was injured when a man rammed his car into his patrol car.
The incident happened Sunday night as the deputies were trying to stop the vehicle for a traffic violation. Deputies say the car sped away from the deputies, then turned around and drove quickly back toward the patrol vehicle. One deputy was pinned between the vehicles.

A spokesman says the deputy was in good spirits early Monday.
The driver of the car was in critical condition and in surgery early Monday. The passenger's condition wasn't available.
