The driver, 23, was arrested on suspicion of drink driving and the police impounded his Mistubishi Lancer Evolution.
Police procedure is to wait for a recovery vehicle to remove an impounded car.
However, the two police officers drove the car across a grass verge and across a garden before crashing it through a fence and coming to rest on its side. The officers were found inside the vehicle, suffering from minor injuries.
The accident is under investigation by a police standards unit. The 23-year-old driver remains in custody.
