Video shows an LAPD SUV crashing into a civilian vehicle on the way to the scene of the accident in Jefferson Park

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — The Los Angeles Police Department has released a video of a serious accident involving a patrol car en route to a scene that left a civilian in an induced coma.

The video shows officers with sirens and blue lights on June 23 responding to an emergency call in the Jefferson Park neighborhood west of downtown where an officer needed assistance.

Most of the cars on Adams Boulevard stop, but as the police SUV tries to pass a Toyota Corolla on the left, it turns in front of them and is struck on the driver’s side.

The Corolla spins toward Adams and crashes into two other parked cars. The driver’s side of the car is badly damaged and the driver is bleeding, unconscious and trapped.

The two officers exit the SUV after the airbags deploy. The officer on the passenger side appears relatively unharmed as he cuts his seatbelt, although his partner at the wheel says, “I’m seeing stars.”

They try to help the injured driver. In the video, he is seen unconscious with blood on his head and shirt. They break the passenger window and try to help him, but he appears to be trapped in the driver’s seat.

Finally, according to the fire department, paramedics from the Los Angeles Fire Department freed the driver from the Corolla and took him to a local hospital. There, doctors put him into an artificial coma. The fire department assumes that the man will survive.

LAPD investigators are interviewing witnesses and collecting video to analyze the collision. It could take several months for them to have results.
