CINCINNATI — A Cincinnati police officer was hospitalized early Sunday morning after a multi-vehicle crash in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati police said.
A CPD desk officer told WCPO 9 that the crash occurred just before 3:30 a.m. along Gilbert Avenue between Windsor and E McMillan streets.
CPD Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said the officer involved in the crash was on scene at Gilbert Avenue and Florence Avenue investigating a two-vehicle crash when their cruiser was struck. An intoxicated driver crashed into the officer's cruiser while they were inside it, the desk officer said.
A WCPO crew saw four cars towed away from the scene.
Cunningham said the officer has non-life-threatening injuries, and they're "OK."
The intoxicated driver stayed at the scene of the crash and cooperated before they were arrested, the desk officer said. They were booked into the Hamilton County Jail.
