Penticton RCMP are asking the public for help after an officer on a routine traffic stop was struck and injured by a suspect vehicle early Monday morning. Police say the car then pulled forward, striking the officer and side swiping a marked police vehicle before fleeing. The driver of the vehicle that was pulled over was not injured, but the police officer was taken to hospital withnon-life-threatening injuries. Police believe the suspect vehicle is a white Kia Forte which had been reported stolen from the Rutland area of Kelowna, B.C., two days before the incident. Police have released an image of the Kia Forte, hoping someone will come forward with more details.
