Shoreline police cruiser in collision with driver who ran red light

Just before midnight on Saturday night, a Shoreline police cruiser rammed into a vehicle coming off I-5 at N 175 which ran the red light.

According to a witness who came across the scene just after the accident, "The police cruiser was smashed up pretty bad and the car involved was upside down and vertical against the rockery."

News reports suggest that the driver was under the influence.

Both driver and police officer were taken to Harborview with injuries, but the officer's injuries are reported to be minor.
