The impact caused the vehicle to flip onto its side, causing significant damage and briefly trapping the pair inside.
The driver, a male constable and the passenger, a female probationary constable, were cut from the vehicle.
They were both taken to hospital with minor injuries. 
This is the second incident of its kind this year.
Another caged truck crashed at Prestons in May.
Caged trucks have long been criticised by some officers in the force for their safety and drivability.
Some senior officers say they have a tendency to rollover during high speed calls.
