Three Anne Arundel County police officers were injured while responding to a call when their unmarked police car, with lights and siren activated, struck another car at an intersection in Pasadena Wednesday morning, police said.
The officers, who were not identified, were taken to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center Baltimore with serious but nonfatal injuries, police said. The other driver was taken to Baltimore Washington Medical Center with minor injuries.
The officers were responding to an armed subject call, driving north on Edwin Raynor Boulevard Road in their 2007 Chevy Impala, when the other driver, in a 2001 Honda Odyssey, pulled out from a stop sign at Pekin Road into the cruiser's path, police said.
The Impala swerved to avoid a direct impact, but it still struck the front corner of the Honda, police said.
Police said the cause of the collision was the Honda driver's failure "to yield right of way to both an emergency vehicle and traffic on the boulevard."
