A crash at the intersection of South Plaza Trail and South Independence Boulevard resulted in a police officer and his civilian passenger being taken to a local Virginia Beach hospital.
The accident happened when the police car, which was responding to the scene of another crash, was going through the intersection with his siren sounding and lights flashing. As the police vehicle moved through the intersection, it was hit on the passenger side by a white Suzuki SUV.
The force of the collision caused the police cruiser to spin towards a ditch, where it eventually stopped. The officer and his passenger were wearing their seat belts, which, according to a police spokesperson, prevented more serious injuries.
The driver of the Suzuki was not injured, and has not yet been charged. The collision is still under investigation and charges could follow.
The civilian traveling with the police officer was participating in a study examining the role of drug use in Virginia Beach auto accidents. In order to collect data, researchers travel with police officers to crash scenes in order to request voluntary blood and saliva samples. The results of this study should be ready for release in the summer of 2011.
