The officer was involved in a high speed pursuit on Highway 198 near Highway 33 around 8:00pm Friday night.
Investigators say he was trying to get ahead of the suspect's car through a curved part of the roadway when he drove onto the shoulder and down a dirt embankment.
The patrol car flipped over, and the suspect got away. The officer was taken to Community Regional Medical Center for treatment, but his injuries are listed as minor.
