A Menifee Police officer and another driver were transported with injuries following a collision in the intersection of Menifee Road and Holland Road Sunday night, authorities said.
The collision occurred about 9:40 p.m. According to Menifee PD Lt. Christina Reveles, a Menifee PD patrol car was traveling westbound on Holland Road with lights and siren on, responding to a call. A red pickup truck was traveling southbound on Menifee Road and the vehicles collided in the intersection.
The exact cause of the collision is under investigation, Reveles said. She had no information to release about the call the officer was responding to or why a helicopter was circling overhead about the same time. Reveles described the injuries to the drivers as minor.
Per department policy, the investigation will be handled by the CHP because a Menifee PD patrol car was involved. Holland Road was closed between Menifee Road and Palomar Road in the hours following the incident as the investigation continued.
