A Copley police officer is recovering from injuries after his cruiser was hit on State Route 21 near the Copley Road exit during a recent traffic stop.  Police said the officer was talking to the person he pulled over when his patrol car was struck.  Police Chief Michael Meier, in a release said, “This is the kind of situation our police officers go through on a daily basis.  It’s very dangerous to stop cars anywhere.  It’s particularly dangerous to stop a vehicle on a highway where motorists are traveling at a high rate of speed.” The driver who hit the cruiser was also hospitalized.  No update on his condition.
