This super-patrol car decked out with the latest high-tech equipment including a refrigerated cooler to transport donor organs — was returning from student job fair where it was showing off the police force's crime fighting arsenal.

The two officers in the vehicle received minor injuries and no-one else was hurt in the accident.
