The agency tweeted that the trooper was responding to an accident involving a car and a deer on I-96 in Eaton County and had the patrol car's emergency lights illuminated.
The Tesla Model Y struck the driver's side rear corner of the police car damaging both vehicles.

Autopilot is a system that is capable of steering a Tesla within a highway lane while controlling its speed, according to the automaker.
In Detroit on Monday, a Tesla Model Y crashed into the trailer of a semi-truck in what was initially suspected to be another Autopilot incident, but police later said they didn't think the feature was being used, Fox 2 WJBK reported.
