A 1998 Ford F-150 traveling in the same direction attempted to slow down but was unable to stop and hit the driver's side of the cruiser.
The female driver of the pickup and a juvenile passenger were not seriously hurt but were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The police officer in training and field training officer were also taken to the hospital for treatment. The police officer in training was briefly pinned in the vehicle and was freed by firefighters from the Fayetteville Fire Department, officials said.
An investigation of the wreck is ongoing.
