Two cadets were in the cruiser when it was hit. They sustained minor injuries, according to police.

The 21-year-old man who was hit earlier on Friday evening was rushed to the hospital shortly after the vehicle that hit him allegedly drove away, leaving him with life-threatening injuries.

The suspect's vehicle is described as a dark-coloured pickup truck, and anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to call investigators at 204-986-6271.
