CINCINNATI, Ohio — A Xavier University police officer taken to University Hospital overnight after an accident in Avondale.
Police say the officer was waiting at a stop light at Victory Parkway and Dana Avenue when a car rear-ended him a little before 2:00am Wednesday. The officer’s SUV was hit so hard it slid through the intersection and into the wooded area.
Investigators at the scene say both the officer involved and the driver of the other car were taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
They would not say whether or not the driver would face charges.
