James Goans Jr., 54, of Carlisle, was arrested for operating a vehicle impaired.
Crusier camera video shows that Goans was driving southbound in the northbound lanes before crashing into the police car.
The division said Goans is currently under ALS suspension, which stems from an OVI arrest in 2025 that was pleaded down to disregard of safety.
The officer was not injured in this crash.
