A McKeesport police officer and another motorist were injured when their cars collided at the intersection of Versailles and Union avenues on Monday morning.
City police Chief Adam Alfer said an officer, whose name has not yet been released, was responding to a structure fire on Olive Street when his squad car collided with a vehicle driven by a female motorist in her 40s or 50s.
The accident happened just after 10:30 a.m.
The crash remains under investigation and a report was not yet complete on Monday, Alfer said. The squad car did have its warning lights and siren activated at the time of the crash, he said.
Following the collision, the police car rolled onto its side and landed on the sidewalk in front of a building at 924 Union Ave., Alfer said.
McKeesport firefighters and McKeesport Ambulance Rescue Service responded to the scene. The officer was taken by ambulance to AHN Forbes Hospital and the other driver was taken to another nearby hospital, Alfer said.
The fire on Olive Street was in a vacant building and remains under investigation. No injuries were reported.
