WARWICK — The driver who struck a Rhode Island State Police cruiser, with a trooper and two police dogs inside, was an off-duty Providence police officer, the state police said.

State Police Major Christopher Dicomitis confirmed the driver’s employer, but would not immediately identify him or her further.

The investigation into the crash Tuesday on Route 95 north in Warwick near the airport connector is ongoing, and no citations have been issued or charges filed in the crash, Dicomitis said.

Trooper Dan O’Neil and K-9 Ruby, made famous by her search-and-rescue exploits, were in the police SUV at the time, along with K-9 Koda, a canine in training.

Both dogs are OK, Dicomitis said. O’Neil suffered minor injuries but was released from the hospital and is recuperating.

O'Neil was stopped off the right side of the road when the other motorist, driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee, struck him at about 11:05 p.m.

Providence Police Commissioner Steven M. Pare said the city department is cooperating with the state police, and also conducting its own review of the off-duty incident.
