Shortly before 2 PM on Sunday, December 29, Seattle Fire Department units responded to a two-vehicle collision on NE 75th Street at 12th Avenue NE. A red sedan and a Seattle Police Department cruiser had collided and both come to rest near the northwest section of the intersection.

The officer was transported to Harborview, which is standard procedure for the Seattle Police Department.

Detours were in place to reroute traffic as investigators processed the scene, but at least some Metro bus routes were unaffected.
