Hamilton police are once again issuing a reminder about the dangers of distracted driving after an officer sustained minor injuries while travelling through an intersection on Sunday.
Police say a black Toyota moving westbound on Cannon street entered the intersection at Victoria during a red light and hit the fully marked police van on the passenger side.
An investigation revealed a cell phone was being used at the time of the crash, police said.
A 28-year-old Hamilton man has been charged with careless driving.
