A Toronto police officer was injured early Tuesday morning after a cruiser was struck while officers were investigating an unrelated collision in North York.
The incident happened around 4:18 a.m. near Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue, according to the Toronto Police Service (TPS). Officers were already on scene responding to a separate crash when a police vehicle was rear-ended.
TPS say the officer was inside the cruiser at the time of the impact. The officer was transported to the hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries.
A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene for impaired driving. His identity has not yet been released.
As a result of the investigation, eastbound Wilson Avenue is closed at Bathurst Street, causing traffic disruptions in the area.
The investigation is ongoing.
