Upon arrival, the two witnessed a car with its lights on, and a screaming female. The car, allegedly driven by Lewis, then began to spin its tires to leave, heading straight towards the patrol car. Officer Good jumped back onto the threshold of the cars driver's door, just as the Lewis' vehicle struck the patrol car, causing injury to Officer Good's lower left leg. He was later taken to Paris Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released.
