The officer was taken to the hospital as a precaution; she is expected to be OK. NBC6 cameras showed the man going into his house with the help of loved ones.

He did not want to speak on camera, but mentioned pain on his side.

His longtime friend Stephanie Paul shared what he told her.

"The other car in the accident hit him and made him go into the police car," she said.

The impact of the collision woke up neighbor Angie Leon before 7 a.m.

"Like a boom," she said. "I was sleeping and then I feel like a boom on the corner."

Chopper6 captured the aftermath of the wreck in her neighborhood, including the red sedan making contact with the left side of the police cruiser. The cruiser sustained damage to its left side, and its front left tire came off.

The circumstances of the crash are still under investigation.
