Authorities are searching for a driver who allegedly injured two California Highway Patrol officers during a chase early Sunday in Bay Point.

The officers tried to pull over a blue Subaru Outback near Bailey and Canal roads at about 3:30 a.m., but the vehicle fled, the CHP said on social media.

A short chase ensued, and the Subaru came to a stop facing the CHP patrol vehicle. The officers got out of their car and the Subaru suddenly accelerated, colliding with them and then drove away, the CHP said.
