The officer driving the wagon had to kick out the front windshield to exit. Officers then climbed on top of the turned over wagon and removed the prisoner inside.
VPD spokesperson Brian Montague says it appears neither the driver of the car, the police officer or the prisoner being transported by the wagon is believed to be seriously hurt.
He says the police wagon entered the intersection on a green light.
