From the aftermath, it appeared to be a serious crash. Two police vehicles were badly damaged from the collision. The mangled mess has since been towed away. 

The four officers -- two from each vehicle -- were rushed to the hospital where they were said to be recovering from non-life-threatening injuries. 

CBS News New York asked police for more information about the call the officers were responding to, but all we have been told is they were "responding to a crime in progress."
