Two police officers have been injured in a head-on collision in Newcastle in the early hours of this morning.
Police say that at around 1.30am, emergency services were called to Brunker Road, near South Street, Adamstown, after a police vehicle travelling south and a Volvo travelling north collided in the southbound lanes.
“The driver, a female constable, and her passenger, a female senior constable, sustained bruising and arm injuries,” NSW Police said in a statement.
The officers were both taken to John Hunter Hospital but have since been released.
“Two civilian passengers were also in the police vehicle at the time of the crash. The women were assessed by paramedics at the scene, however, did not require further treatment,” NSW Police said.
“The Ford driver and sole-occupant, a 56-year-old woman, was trapped for a short time. She was released and taken to John Hunter Hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries and mandatory testing.”
Officers from Newcastle City Police District established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.
