3 LAPD officers in 2 patrol cars injured in Reseda crash

Three Los Angeles Police Department officers escaped with minor injuries from a crash involving two LAPD patrol units in Reseda, authorities said Sunday.

The patrol units were responding to a call for additional units to set up a perimeter search for a DUI suspect, Officer Norma Eisenman said.

The two-vehicle collision occurred at about 10:25 p.m. Saturday at 8300 N. Wilbur Ave., just south of Sherman Way, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Lyndsey Lantz.

The three officers were rushed to a hospital, where they were treated and released, Eisenman said.

The injured officers were two 33-year-old men and a 30-year-old man, according to the LAFD.

Details of what led to the crash were not immediately available.

The DUI suspect was subsequently arrested on suspicion of felony evading, Eisenman said.
