An early morning crash left four people hurt, two of whom were police officers. Police reports indicate that a two-vehicle crash took place in the Hunting Park area of Philadelphia at around 2 a.m. on a Friday.
Initial information indicates a “smart car”, as stated by police, struck a police car with two officers inside. Both of the people in the smart car suffered injuries to their faces and heads. The airbags in both vehicles deployed, and the officer driving the vehicle suffered injuries to their face, while the passenger also suffered pain from unstated causes. All four needed medical care.
Police reportedly were patrolling the area while they were looking for someone else involved in an unrelated matter. Police are investigating the accident to determine fault.
Who May Be at Fault
In a case like this, the details of the investigation will be critically important. Police must determine if the drivers caused the accidents or the technology in the smart car failed to work as expected. A full investigation may include witness statements, nearby surveillance cameras, police dash camera footage, and other data. Gathering this information will allow investigators to piece together what happened right before the accident.
