A police vehicle flipped on its roof after a crash in Phoenix, authorities said.

About 11:50 a.m. on Oct. 18, officers responded to a reported crash involving a Phoenix police Tahoe near Seventh Avenue and Grant Street, according to Phoenix Police Department spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Zak.

Preliminary findings indicate the police vehicle was heading south on Seventh Avenue when another vehicle, traveling westbound, ran a red light and collided with the Tahoe, Zak said.

Officers arrived to find the police vehicle overturned, with the other vehicle still at the scene, Zak said.

The two officers and their passenger, an adult male, were taken from the vehicle and transported to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Zak.

The driver of the other vehicle was treated for injuries at the scene.
