LASD deputies hospitalized after three-vehicle crash involving UPS truck
Two Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department deputies were hospitalized after a three-vehicle crash involving a UPS truck on Tuesday afternoon in Hacienda Heights.
The crash happened a little before 4 p.m. near Turnbull Cayon Road and East Poplar Avenue, according to LASD officials.
Deputies say that everyone involved has minor injuries, and that the deputies were taken to the hospital as a precaution.
The other two drivers complained of pain but were not hospitalized, deputies said.
LASD tells KCAL News that the deputies were on their way to a reported hazardous materials investigation at a nearby post office in the city of Industry, where workers were evacuated after receiving a suspicious package.
The crash happened when a car pulled out in front of their patrol vehicle, but they say that the LASD car did not have the emergency features — lights and sirens — activated at the time of the crash.
