LA County deputy, civilian hospitalized after crash in Bellflower

A Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputy and a civilian were hospitalized following a two-car crash in Bellflower on Tuesday afternoon. 

It happened at around 4:15 p.m. near Artesia Boulevard and Virginia Avenue, Los Angeles Fire Department crews told CBS News Los Angeles. 

The Lakewood Station deputy was responding to a call for service at the time of the crash, according to department officials. They said that his lights and siren were not, however. 

Department officials say that the other driver, behind the wheel of a Toyota, made a left turn into the deputy's path before the two cars collided. 

SkyCal was overhead as both of the victims were loaded onto stretchers and cared for by LAFD paramedics. Both were hospitalized for non-life-threatening injuries. 

The intersection was expected to remain impacted by the pending investigation for several hours.
