NEW YORK – Two police officers were injured after another car rammed them while responding to a call, sending their vehicle into a pole before it caught fire, authorities say.
Fortunately, officers were not seriously injured in the crash, which occurred near 64th Street and Eighth Avenue in Brooklyn around 10:45 pm Sunday.
According to police, a woman was driving the vehicle that authorities say caused the crash. She allegedly failed to yield to the police vehicle while she was responding to a scene. The cruiser ended up colliding with a pole and burst into flames.
The officers only had minor injuries, authorities said. The 39-year-old woman who was behind the wheel of the other vehicle initially fled the scene but later returned, police said.
She was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident that resulted in injury.
No other details were immediately available.
