A search is underway at the Columbia-Rensselaer county line for two men.

The men stole a truck and rammed a troop car as a trooper was getting into it, police said.

This began as chase, which started at Dollar General when two men allegedly stole a truck. Those men drove this way before speeding off going west on Route 20. The police chase lasted over three miles until it ended at the intersection of County Route 13 and Thompson Lane. That’s when the stolen truck crashed into a New York state trooper’s patrol car with the trooper getting into his vehicle, police said.

The crash into the trooper’s car might have intentional, investigators said.

Now a manhunt is underway for two men. The two men fled on foot into the woods.

Police have been searching all over the area, they said, with some officers now done searching today. There were helicopters as a part of the search, according to neighbors. There is no word on if the trooper was hit during the crash.

Anyone with information is asked to call State Police at 845-677-7300.
