Officer is Daniel Mitchum was in a patrol car at the time of the crash, which was at exit four, police spokeswoman Elisa Myzal said. His injuries are not life-threatening.
Chattanooga Police Department's traffic unit is investigating, she said. The incident is also under administrative investigation, something that happens with all officer-involved crashes.
