According to NFPD, a marked police vehicle, responding in emergency mode to a call of a subject with a gun, was southbound on Hyde Park Boulevard, with lights and siren activated. Upon entering the intersection with Ferry Avenue, the vehicle was struck on the rear quarter panel by a 2007 Hyundai Sonata traveling east on Ferry Avenue with a green light. The air bags were deployed in both cars.

The driver of the police car, a 10-year veteran of the department, was taken to Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital, where he was treated for minor injuries and released.
