A Peterborough police officer was reportedly taken to hospital following a crash on Tuesday night.

Around 7:30 p.m., emergency crews were called to the scene involving a cruiser and a car at the intersection of Sherbrooke and Clonsilla Avenue. A pickup truck parked in a driveway on the corner was also struck by one of the vehicles.

A witness — the owner of the parked truck — told Global News Peterborough that a woman driving the eastbound car on Sherbrooke allegedly went through the intersection and collided with the cruiser, which was making a turn onto Sherbrooke from Clonsilla.

The officer, who checked on the well-being of the woman, was taken to hospital with a reported head injury, according to the witness.
