Police said the officer was responding to a non-emergency call when a black-colored Lexus, who was possibly speeding, failed to stop at a “yield” sign. That was when the Lexus hit the back side of the officer’s patrol car.

The major impact of the crash pushed the patrol car into a red minivan that was waiting at a stoplight.

The officer was not hurt, according to police.

The driver of the Lexus was taken to the hospital where he was treated for minor injuries.

No one else was hurt in the crash.

Police have opened up an investigation to find out what led to the crash.
