Video showed the Dayton officer driving around when they turned on their emergency overhead lights. A spokesperson for the Dayton Police Department said they did so because they started to respond to a call of an officer needing assistance.
As the officer went to go through the intersection, it collided with the driver’s side of an SUV, which police said failed to stop at the intersection’s stop sign.
The cruiser hit the SUV so hard that it lost its front bumper.
There were two officers in the cruiser. Both were transported to Miami Valley Hospital where they were treated and released.
