Police officers are hurt in crash

Three police officers were injured when a patrol car collided with a police dog van and crashed into a bank.

An ambulance crew was called to Cambridge city centre at about midnight but no one required serious treatment and a dog in the van was unhurt.

Police could not confirm if they were responding to an emergency call before the crash happened at the Hills Road and Regent Street junction.

One vehicle hit the front of a bank smashing several marble panels.

The road was closed for two hours while investigators examined the scene and the cars were recovered.

Investigation continuing

No pedestrians were injured and Cambridgeshire Police said the officers were able to drive themselves to hospital for a check-up.

A spokesman said: "Two police vehicles were involved in a road traffic collision shortly after midnight resulting in damage to the nearby bank.

"Thankfully all officers escaped with minor bumps and bruises and the dog was unhurt.

"We are still investigating the cause of the collision."

A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service said: "An ambulance and fast response car were on scene within minutes but it was found to be a non-injury incident."
