GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Police are investigating after three juveniles in a suspected stolen vehicle crashed into a Grand Rapids police officer overnight.
Police say the crash happened just before 3 a.m. Monday in the intersection of Michigan Street and Lafayette Avenue. Officers had noticed a white Kia speeding and driving recklessly, but did not pursue the vehicle.
The Kia later allegedly ran a red light at the intersection and crashed into a police cruiser going through a green light.
Police say two juveniles attempted to run but were located by officers. The third juvenile had to be extricated from the vehicle. All three were taken to a hospital to be checked out.
Police say the officer only had a minor cut. One juvenile reportedly sustained minor injuries.
Investigators are now attempting to locate the owner of the Kia.
The intersection was closed for about two hours. It has since reopened.
