A police cruiser slammed into a car pulling a u-turn on Sunday morning in West Philadelphia.
The cruiser, lights and sirens blaring, was on the way to a call on the 5800 block of Thomas Street at 8:37 a.m.
The police vehicle struck a civilian car on the driver side as it attempted to turn around on Thomas Avenue. The impact sent the police cruiser into a pole, and the civilian car into a wall.
The driver of the civilian vehicle was transported to the hospital with a possible broken jaw. The officer was also transported to the hospital. Both are listed in stable condition.
