As SKYCal was overhead around noon, a white car was seen crashed into an LAPD SUV and an officer was getting wheeled into an ambulance. He was transported to the hospital, and is in stable condition.

A woman was being detained by officers at the scene, and could be seen handcuffed, then escorted into the police vehicle's backseat.
