Police car and Volkswagen collide in Kreuzberg nighttime crash

A traffic accident involving a police car took place in Kreuzberg late last night. The crash happened when a Volkswagen crossed Hasenheide as officers responded to an emergency. Both the police and the car's occupants suffered injuries in the collision.

The incident began as a police vehicle sped through Kreuzberg with sirens blaring and blue lights flashing. The officers did not see a woman driving a Volkswagen as she crossed their path. The two vehicles collided, leaving the patrol car damaged and its occupants hurt.

The crash has led to an ongoing investigation by traffic crime specialists. The police officers and the car's occupants all required medical care but did not stay overnight in hospital. Further details on the cause of the accident are expected as the inquiry continues.
