Police say Officer Sara Dorsey was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two adults and three children in the Ford Expedition were injured and were taken to Maryland Shock Trauma with non-life- threatening injuries.

Police identified the SUV driver as a 35-year-old Baltimore man. An investigation is underway in the case.
