Law enforcement officials are investigating after an early Monday crash in Philadelphia's Bustleton neighborhood sent a Philadelphia Police officer and a pregnant woman to the hospital.
According to police, the incident happened before 2:30 a.m. on Monday when a grey Volkswagen, driven by a 25-year-old man was traveling at a high rate of speed disregarded a red light at the intersection of Tyson and Bustleton avenues.
After running the light, officials said, the Volvo slammed into a Toyota Camry carrying a 39-yer-old man and a 37-year-old pregnant woman that was headed southbound on Bustleton Avenue, which then traveled into the rear of a Philadelphia Police vehicle.
The impact forced the police vehicle off the road and into the side of a pharmacy at that intersection, according to police.
