Police are investigating following a two-vehicle crash involving a police vehicle in Yagoona last night, NSW Police say.
Just before 11pm (28 April 2016), a NSW Police vehicle with three officers on board was travelling towards Edgar Street along the Hume Highway with the vehicle’s warning lights activated.
At the same time, a 51-year-old man was driving in the same direction when the two vehicles collided, and the police vehicle hit a telegraph pole.
The man was uninjured and did not require treatment.
A 27-year-old senior constable in the police vehicle suffered a broken left wrist and a broken bone in his left hand. He was taken to Bankstown Hospital in a stable condition.
The other two police officers in the vehicle were uninjured.
Officers attached to Bankstown Local Area Command attended and are investigating the incident.
Witnesses are urged to come forward and contact Crime Stopers.
