Police say the crash happened while officers were parked near 751 South 300 East around 1:03 a.m.
As officers were responding to an unrelated incident, the teen driver allegedly smashed her vehicle into a parked patrol car which push the vehicle into a second patrol car parked in front.
Authorities say the parked patrol cars had activated emergency lights on at the time.
The teen sustained minor injuries during the collision and was treated at the scene. No other injuries were reported.
