(AP) — Omaha police are looking for the driver of a stolen vehicle who rammed into a police cruiser to avoid arrest.

Omaha Police Officer Michael Pecha says the incident happened shortly before 7 a.m. Monday.

Pecha says patrol officers recognized a vehicle at a gas station near I-80 in eastern Omaha as a possible stolen vehicle.

Once officers confirmed the vehicle was stolen, they pulled into the parking lot. Then the stolen vehicle rammed the police cruiser and backed into a tree.

When officers exited their vehicle, the stolen vehicle hit the cruiser again and fled.

The vehicle was located later in Council Bluffs, and a passenger was arrested, but officers are still looking for the driver.
