TOLUCA LAKE, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Two Los Angeles Police Department officers were injured Saturday night after they were involved in a collision with another vehicle in Toluca Lake.
The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. at Camarillo Street and Sancola Avenue, according to the department.
Police say a driver in a Mini Cooper was going westbound on Camarillo but then veered into oncoming traffic on the eastbound side of the road, crashing into a parked patrol vehicle, authorities said.
