A Fridley police officer suffered minor injuries in a crash involving another car Friday morning, according to police. Police say at 8:10 a.m. the officer was heading southbound on University Avenue NE near Mississippi St. NE with emergency lights on attempting to catch up to a semaphore violator. As the squad car proceeded through the intersection, most traffic on Mississippi St. yielded for the squad, but one vehicle did proceed through and struck the squad.
The squad, a 2015 Ford Utility, overturned and landed on its roof. The officer, who was wearing his seat belt, was taken to a local hospital. The adult male driver and adult female passenger in the other car also suffered minor injuries. The passenger was also taken to an area hospital. The driver is cooperating with police and there are no indications of impairment, police said. The semaphore violator was not identified and did not stop at the scene. The Minnesota State Patrol will handle the crash investigation.

If it was me who did that I would be running up to help the officer. But that's just me.
To whom it was he mKing that hand gesture and why?
Ran a red light at full speed, didn’t hit anyone, avoided the ticket, and caused a cop to wreck. I wonder if he even knew what happened behind him.
When traversing any intersection always be prepared for a potential collision regardless of right of way.
Red-runner had the drugs. Dude was running interference with a pit maneuver. Lol. Hope everyone is okay.
Shity
cops fault cuz no sirens
Dum ass cop should know lights and sirens and he can not run a red light when its not safe too
Dang. Unlucky.
First video: granted the cop car crossed on a red, but if I see two cars stopped at a green light, common sense says WAIT
It started off clear then blurry
Did anyone notice the video it was Blurry
just fished through a lot of comments and nobody has mentioned that this is a prime fucking example of why you should be aware of what the cars around you are doing. There are TWO cars at that light that do not move when the light turns green. You need to notice these things.
Why should I wait at this stupid light, I HAVE LIGHTS! Oh Wait….
ACAB
0:47 what a good officer, I'm sure she's upset that her coworker got upset, but she says "You're okay bud" when he puts his hands up. That's heartening 🙂
Bet they cited the civilian. Why would you chase someone for a traffic violation? Idiotic cops. Glad they got hit.
They broke my waaatch
Fuck the cops. What's more important, innocent civilians in traffic or the state getting their ticket money?
XD thats why you dont run a red light dumb ass cop
That poor guy, I know it's stereotypical that black ppl have problems with police but this man was minding his own business and shit hit the fan so goddamn fast here. He was clearly in shock since he didn't even know what do when the cops rolled up. That fucking cop
The guy that ran the red light is so lucky!!
Oops
Finally, a true “dintdunutthinâ€!
i am glad the black guy wasn't arrested for anything. why are there so many cop cars in the intersection? right after the crash, 2 more cop cars came to help.
Lmao the cop caused the crash that he was chasing the other guy for
Dude was like 'y'all don't shooting me for this shit!' Hands up!
Thoose old Camry's are built like tanks.
"As the squad car proceeded through the intersection, most traffic on Mississippi St. yielded for the squad, but one vehicle did proceed through and struck the squad." Misleading much? The guy didn't yield because he wasnt stopped beforehand. He approached the intersection when the light had already turned green. Why would he stop??
It would be complete if the driver had a dash cam.
There's always that one stupid idiot that should never be on the road!
Japan police accident no
encima de un color atractivo para los americanos…jaja pobre
He was like "dont shoot" he was afraid to even move 😂
The dude who ran the red light was his lucky day,and he probably looked back and saw that the car was flipped
The guy who ran a red light got away with it, unless they are red light cameras
What the officer could have done to avoid this was to notice that there was no car stopped at the far right lane and slowed down right before that lane to see if no car was coming. That car wasn't able to see the cop car because the two cars on the left were blocking his view.
that fucker came out nowhere
This guy deserves a brand new car.
Do we have to pay for that?
the man in the Camry had no chance to react. the officer also failed to scan his surrounds as he took off from the red light. thank god the officer said he was OK and the fact that the gentleman stepped out with no problems.
Wrong timing by the officer
Let me preface this by saying I am one of the most pro-police people alive. I have police as family, I want to be a police officer, the police department is basically a lifestyle around me. That being said, this was the officer's fault. The driver couldn't see him from that angle as the other two cars were blocking. The officer, pulling out into the intersection and KNOWING the other lights would be green, continues on without yielding to make sure there were no more oncoming cars before continuing pursuit. NO ticket is worth causing an accident and filing out paperwork as well as possible repercussions.
That moment when you flip a cop car (but not your fault), and you want to help because you are worried about the cops health, but you're black so you put your hands up in the air
That is definite a "hands up" pose, and it's terrible that this is where we are.
don't ask if black guys okay, just worry about your fat ads cop, his fault anyway!!
Shit happens
