As one unit approached the intersection of Bronx Avenue, a small white car pulled from a stop sign and into its path, resulting in a collision.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">One Dallas police officer and the adult female driver of the civilian car were transported to a nearby hospital. The officer sustained serious injuries, but both individuals are expected to recover.<\/p>\n<p data-v-bd34935e=\"\">Police later confirmed that the shooting call the officers were responding to was false and a case of swatting.
