Two police officers and a man were injured in the crash in Littlehampton
A man has appeared in court accused of injuring two police officers who were hit by a stolen car.
The pair were struck as they carried out a routine drugs check on the A259 in Littlehampton, early on Monday.
Another man, who had just been arrested on suspicion of intent to supply class B drugs, was also hit by the car, police said.
Jack Robson, 20, of Holly Drive, Wick, Littlehampton, appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court.
He was remanded in custody and is due to appear at Portsmouth Crown Court on 23 October.
Mr Robson is charged with:
Three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving
Burglary
Driving with no insurance, not in accordance with his provisional licence, and with uncorrected vision
The court heard the car hit PC Lisa Holt and PC Tim Bradbury while they were on duty.
PC Bradbury is due to have surgery on a broken shoulder, an arm and leg, a police spokesman said earlier.
"His colleague, a policewoman, has been discharged from hospital after suffering two fractures and extensive bruising and is recovering at home," he added.
The arrested man who was hit suffered a fractured spine, cuts to the back of his head, and other cuts and bruises.
He has been released under investigation, police said.
