SOUTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. - A New Jersey police officer was luckily unharmed after investigators say a distracted driver slammed into his cruiser during a traffic stop. The South Brunswick Police Department said the crash happened Thursday just before midnight on Route 1 South near Raymond Road. A 17-year patrolman was in the shoulder of the highway talking to the driver of a truck he had pulled over when police say he heard screeching tires and a loud crash. The officer found a 2015 Volkswagen had plowed into the back of his police SUV and spun along the driver's side, coming to a rest facing the wrong direction with the airbags deployed.
