Two Colorado Springs police officers, civilian injured in crash

A Colorado Springs police officer was seriously injured in a Saturday evening crash that left another officer injured.

At 7 p.m. on Saturday, two officers in a police car were approaching the intersection of East Platte Avenue and Prospect Street with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

But a car failed to yield the right-of-way to the officers, turned left from westbound Platte and smashed into the cruiser, Colorado Springs police said.

Both officers and the driver of the other car were taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries. One officer sustained serious bodily injuries, but both officers were released from the hospital.

The driver, Raymond Maez, has not been charged in the connection with the crash, although police said charges are pending. Police believe that alcohol and drugs were factors.
