WASHINGTON COUNTY, PA – A city police officer was one of the two people hurt late Wednesday as a result of a collision in Washington, according to Post-Gazette.
Pennsylvania State Police said the incident occurred at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Hall Avenue, just before midnight.
An early investigation found that the officer, who at the time was responding to a domestic incident involving a stabbing, was traveling northbound in a marked department vehicle with its emergency equipment activated. Shortly after the vehicle entered the intersection, it was was hit by a car traveling on Hall Avenue.
Officials said the impact pushed the police vehicle off the roadway in an uncontrolled manner before it collided with a pole and overturned onto its driver’s side.
