LUDLOW – Police are continuing to investigate a Friday accident between a car and a police cruiser, but no charges are expected to be filed.
“The cruiser had its lights and siren on but it was right in the middle of a rain storm,” Police Sgt. Daniel Valadas said. Visibility was limited because of the severe thunderstorm.
Neither the driver of the car nor the police officer was identified. The officer was brought to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield by ambulance, treated for minor injuries and released. The cruiser had to be towed from the scene but the other car was still operable, he said.
The accident happened at about 5:27 p.m. at the corner of Chapin and Reynolds streets. The officer was responding to a domestic emergency call, Valadas said.
