Officer Injured in Car Wreck
According to the Courier Journal, a Louisville traffic control officer was involved in an accident Friday morning when another car skidded through a red light because of slick roads.
The officer was uninjured but the passenger in the other car was taken to a hospital with a broken wrist, said police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley.
The traffic officer was on duty and driving south on First Street when a green four-door Mitsubishi traveling west on East Hill Street tried to stop but skidded through the red light at the intersection and struck the driver side of the officer’s car, Smiley said.
The impact sent the officer’s car spinning. The officer complained of aches and pains but wasn’t transported to a hospital.
