A Louisville Metro Police car was involved in an accident Thursday that sent two officers to the hospital. 

All lanes on Cane Run Road near Crums Lane were blocked around 9 a.m. after a police unit was struck by an SUV, according to a release from LMPD spokesman Dwight Mitchell. 

Two officers who were riding together were driving eastbound on Crums Lane when they were struck by an SUV traveling northbound on Cane Run Road while the officers had a green light, according to the department’s preliminary investigation and witnesses, the release states. 

After the crash, the driver of the SUV as well as multiple passengers fled the scene, according to the release. They were apprehended a short time later by other officers responding to the area.

The officers were transported to University of Louisville Hospital with minor injuries.

The occupants from the SUV have not been reported to have sustained any injuries, but will face charges.
