The trooper appears to be eating and possibly speaking with someone named Tony on the phone when the Porsche comes up from behind and slams into his cruiser, causing it to spin around.
"Tony, Tony, I've been hit, I've been hit, Tony! I've been hit, I've been hit!" the trooper says before reporting the incident over his radio and yelling "Damn!"

Officials said Jimenez abandoned the Porsche on foot and led authorities on a manhunt. He was eventually taken into custody.
Photos released by FHP showed the trooper's vehicle with rear-end damage, and the Porsche heavily damaged.
The trooper suffered minor injuries.
Jimenez is facing charges including leaving the scene of a crash causing damage, failure to stop or remain at an accident scene and resisting an officer without violence.
