Four police officers had to be hospitalized following a motor vehicular accident in Barrackpore.

Thankfully, the injuries are not said to be life-threatening.

The four were said to be travelling in a marked police vehicle when the car was rear-ended by a pick-up truck around 10:00 am Tuesday.

The driver told investigators that the police vehicle “mashed a sudden brakes” and stopped, and he was too close to do the same at the time and as a result, he came into contact with the vehicle.

The four officers who were in the car at the time have all been taken for treatment.

More on this as it becomes available.
