The driver of the Suburban was also transported with non-life-threatening injuries.
An officer suffered minor burns to his arms and head and was treated at the scene by Jacksonville Fire and Rescue, according to police.
Speed may have been a contributing factor to the crash, JSO said.
At this time, it is unknown if alcohol was a factor, and if the driver of the BMW will face any charges.
JSO reminds the public to slow down, pay attention, and get a designated driver: don’t drink and drive.
