The accident happened at about 5:10 p.m. near Radio Drive and Lake Road. The State Patrol was requested to investigate and found that the 2022 Ford Explorer squad car was headed south when it entered the intersection with its emergency equipment activated. A 2025 Mazda CX-90, heading east, struck the police car in the front passenger area.
