Investigators said an officer driving with lights and sirens attempted to join the pursuit but was involved in a collision with another car at Buckley Road and Dartmouth Avenue around 5:57 a.m.

The woman driving the other car was reportedly uninjured, but the officer involved was taken to the hospital for treatment of what officials said were minor injuries.

Police are still searching for the driver of the stolen truck.
