OXNARD, Calif. — Two people were injured Tuesday morning when an Oxnard police patrol car collided with a sport utility vehicle at Wooley Road and Pacific Avenue, police say.
Sgt. Lisa Ragone said the SUV was traveling east on Wooley Road about 8 a.m. and turned left onto Pacific Avenue in front of the police car, which was traveling west on Wooley.
On-duty police Officer Martin Garcia suffered a cut to his face and a possible broken hip, while 44-year-old Oxnard resident Margarita Sanchez, the driver of the SUV, complained of pain in her chest and hands, according to a statement from the Oxnard Police Department.
