A police officer was hit by a car during an attempted traffic stop in Delta Saturday morning, according to authorities.

The RCMP E Division confirmed to CTV News a BC Highway Patrol member was struck on Highway 91 and suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Three ambulances were sent to the crash at 10:43 a.m. and took the officer to hospital, BC Emergency Health Services told CTV News.

The driver fled the scene, police said.

Video from the scene—by the 72 Avenue exit—shows several Delta Police Department vehicles surrounding a highway patrol uniform lying on the road.

The DPD said it was on scene to provide support, but is not the lead agency on the file.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
