Two police sergeants were injured when a driver crashed through a police barricade into an active investigation late Thursday.
Police say the car crashed through the active investigation scene in Colina del Sol, authorities said Friday.
Officers from the San Diego Police Department’s Mid-City Division were investigating a serious injury collision at the intersection of 50th Street and El Cajon Boulevard around 10:30 p.m. Thursday.
Police had blocked both directions of El Cajon using marked cruisers with activated emergency lights. A 46-year-old man driving a Kia Soul eastbound on El Cajon approached the 50th Street intersection and made no attempt to slow down or stop for the road closure, SDPD said.
The vehicle struck two marked police cruisers and continued into the initial crash scene, hitting the two SDPD sergeants, both of whom sustained minor injuries.
The driver, whose name was not immediately released, was arrested on suspicion of felony driving under the influence.
The SDPD Traffic Division is investigating the collision. Officials are asking anyone with information regarding the collision to call SDPD or San Diego Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477.
