Police said crash barrels and barricades were in place and the police vehicle's lights were on when the suspect drove through and struck the vehicle head-on.
The suspect is 31-year-old Adam Matthew Sterle, who police said made statements on the scene that he intentionally targeted/ struck the vehicle.
Sterle was arrested and charged with aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
Bush will be off work for the next six to eight weeks, and was treated for several broken bones and was given several stitches.
