Two LAPD officers were slightly injured early Monday when their squad car collided with another vehicle in South L.A., authorities said.
The officers suffered “minor abrasions” but were taken to a hospital for observation after complaining of pain, said Officer Sara Faden, an LAPD spokeswoman.
The crash occurred about 7:10 a.m. near the corner of Seventh Avenue and Exposition Boulevard, in Leimert Park. Television images indicated the squad car went through a fence and came to rest near a railroad right of way.
Police were investigating the cause of the incident.
