Omaha Police: Cruiser Sustained Substantial Damage in Crash

omaha-police-cruiserOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a department cruiser has received substantial damage following a collision with two other vehicles.

Police say the unoccupied cruiser had emergency lights on while it was stopped along Interstate 80 on Monday morning. Officers were at the scene to respond to a hit-and-run.

At some point the cruiser was struck on the right rear corner by a car driven by a 21-year-old Iowa woman. The impact forced the cruiser to hit an unoccupied vehicle that was involved in the initial hit-and-run.

The resulting collision injured a 31-year-old man in the left leg. The 21-year-old woman was taken to a local hospital for temporary loss of consciousness and a knee laceration.
