Chris Williamson said.  A Chevrolet Malibu going about 70 mph hit one of the cruisers, causing minor injuries to the trooper behind the wheel, Williamson said.<br \/>\nOfficers found two large duffel bags in the trunk with 43 pounds of marijuana in plastic bags, worth more than $150,000, Orangeburg County deputy Warren Pendry said.  They also found a few marijuana cigarettes and cocaine, Pendry said.  The 54-year-old driver from Daytona Beach Shores, Fla., was charged with driving under the influence, possession of cocaine and trafficking marijuana, authorities said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note to self: when driving around with tons of illegal drugs in the car &#8211; drive carefully!
