PHOENIX — Two police officers and a civilian were taken to hospitals after a crash near 19th and Dunlap avenues early Wednesday morning.

The crash occurred around 4:20 a.m. and involved a pickup truck and a Phoenix Police Department patrol vehicle.

Phoenix police say the patrol car was hit by a man driving the pickup truck. That driver was taken to a hospital for treatment and DUI processing, as officials believe intoxication was a factor in the crash.

Both officers who were in the patrol car were also taken to a hospital with injuries, though officials did not disclose the severity of their injuries.

The investigation is ongoing.
