At approximately 11:30PM on January 13th, a supposed drunk driver slammed into an unmarked police car in Kensington at the intersection of B and East Westmoreland Streets.

The unmarked police car was responding to a call when the alleged drunk driver ran a red light and slammed into the right side of the officers’ vehicle.

The driver exited his vehicle and attempted to escape on foot. Additional officers on scene from the 24th District pursued the perpetrator, who was apprehended at Front and Westmoreland Streets after resisting arrest.

The two officers in the vehicle were taken to Temple University Hospital. The policeman operating the vehicle sustained a head injury, though he was conscious and lucid. His partner had a broken finger on his right hand.

The driver, who also sustained non-life-threatening injuries, was taken to nearby Episcopal Hospital. He will be charged with DUI and resisting arrest. He was also driving with an expired license.
