An officer with the Philadelphia Police Department was taken to the hospital after an early-morning car crash involving an allegedly drunk driver Tuesday.

According to officials with the Philadelphia Police Department, the officer was at the scene of an arrest early Tuesday morning, in the city’s Frankford section, when the accident occurred. Investigators say a driver did not see the police scene in time and tried to stop but struck a parked car. The force of the impact sent the parked vehicle into a squad car which struck the officer.

The male officer, whose identity has not been released by police, was transported to a nearby hospital where he was treated and released.

Police arrested the driver that caused the crash on suspicion of drunk driving. The results of a blood test are pending.
