WALTHAM, Mass. — A Waltham police officer and another driver were both taken to the hospital Wednesday morning after a rollover crash, according to officials.
The Waltham police cruiser could be seen lying on its side with a shattered windshield, while the other involved Sedan suffered damage to its side.
According to a preliminary investigation conducted by Waltham Police Officers, the cruiser was traveling westbound on Totten Pond Road, responding to a call for service. The officer then made a complete stop at a red light, turned on the cruiser’s sirens, and traveled through the intersection of Totten Pond Road and Wyman Street.
At the same time, a person traveling southbound on Wyman Street went through the intersection on a green light. The driver was going around 25 miles per hour with zero traffic on the road. By the time she saw the police cruiser enter the intersection, the driver attempted to brake but wasn’t able to avoid colliding with the officer’s vehicle.
The vehicle struck the officer’s cruiser on the rear passenger side, causing the car to roll over onto its driver’s side.
The officer said that he did not see the car coming before the accident.
Both the officer and the other driver suffered minor injuries in the crash and were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The area near Winter Street and the off-ramp on Totten Pond Road was closed off as emergency crews responded to the scene. The roadway was reopened around noon.
The incident remains under investigation.
