Phoenix Police Officers and Arrestee Injured in Rollover Crash
Two Phoenix police officers and a passenger under arrest were injured in a rollover crash that occurred on Saturday morning when another driver allegedly ran a red light. The incident took place just before 11:50 a.m. near the intersection of 7th Avenue and Grant Street in downtown Phoenix.
The collision involved two vehicles, with the police car, which was traveling southbound, being struck by an SUV that was heading westbound. The impact caused the police vehicle to roll over, ending up on its roof. The two officers, one male and one female, suffered minor injuries and were promptly taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation and treatment. The passenger in the police vehicle, who was under arrest at the time of the crash, sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
