A police officer was lucky to escape injury this morning when his patrol car was rammed by a stolen, out-of-control ute and shunted down a steep bank. The drama began about 8.40am when a member of the public in Kaikohe recognised a Mazda twin-cab ute stolen over the weekend in Kerikeri. Reporter Peter de Graaf was at the scene.
