Two cops were injured when their patrol vehicle overturned when they were broadsided by another vehicle in Sheepshead Bay earlier today.
An NYPD housing bureau sergeant and one police officer were driving in a marked Ford SUV on Nostrand Avenue around 8:30 a.m when a silver Pontiac Bonneville rammed into the driver’s side of the car, witnesses said.
The impact caused the SUV to tip onto the passenger side, pinning the officers inside the wreck.
“I ran over and tried but you couldn’t open the door to get them out,” said Greta Miller, an NYPD crossing guard for PS 52 who saw the accident. “I ran to the school to get help,” she said.
The driver of the Pontiac was issued a summons for failure to yield, and the officers were transported to Lutheran Hospital for minor injuries, the Post reports.
