FREMONT -- Emergency crews were at the scene of a major traffic collision involving multiple vehicles, including a police car, in Fremont on Monday morning.

The crash was reported at about 10:40 a.m. at Mission and Warm Springs boulevards.

At around 10:40 a.m., an officer was responding to a service call with lights and sirens at the intersection of Mission and Warm Springs boulevards when an uninvolved community member collided into their marked patrol car, said police.

A police spokesperson said the driver continued straight and ran into more than one stopped vehicle.    

Chopper video showed a Fremont police cruiser in the middle of the intersection with major front-end damage. Four other vehicles, including a shuttle bus, were also involved.

The officer was transported to a local hospital for minor injuries and was treated and released the same afternoon. The driver said they had pain, but was not brought to the hospital, said a police spokesperson.    

All lanes were blocked until about 1 p.m., Fremont police said in an advisory. Motorists were asked to avoid the area. 

The crash is still under investigation.
