    RICHMOND, B.C. — RCMP say a Mountie enforcing distracted driving laws in Richmond, B.C., was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene.

    The driver stopped but then suddenly turned to speed away, hitting the officer and a police vehicle.
     
    The officer was taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and RCMP say the police vehicle was substantially damaged.
     
    A civilian vehicle that was also struck had minor damage.
