Police Chief Dan Foss described the scene to KCRA as chaotic: "We knew it was vehicle versus pedestrian, and the pedestrian was my officers."
"It was a DUI driver, driving under the influence. He blew through the flares, drove right through them," Foss told KCRA. "He was well over the legal limit, and he struck both our officers."
The officers were setting up road flares near the ramp when another motorist drove into the pair. Nevada City police say one of the officers was able to call for help.
Geoffrey Rodgers, 28, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of driving under the influence, officials said, and was taken to Nevada County jail but was no longer in custody Monday.
