3 LAPD officers injured in 2 separate traffic accidents

A Los Angeles Police Department cruiser was one of four cars involved in a traffic accident Friday evening near Chatsworth High School, an LAPD spokesman said.

Two officers were in the cruiser when it crashed on Mason Avenue just north of Plummer Street about 5 p.m., said LAPD spokesman Cleon Joseph. Both were taken to a hospital and treated for minor injuries, he said.

Joseph said another person involved in the crash was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. He said he did not know of injuries to people in the other two vehicles involved in the crash.

In a separate incident, a third LAPD officer was taken to a hospital with minor injuries after a collision late Friday afternoon in Van Nuys, Joseph said.

The motorcycle officer, whose name was not released, collided with a car in the 14000 block of West Saticoy Street east of the 405 Freeway, Joseph said. He called it “just a basic traffic collision.”
