The officer was taken to the hospital with neck pain

A San Diego Police Department officer was rear-ended while at a red light in his squad car on Imperial Avenue near 68th Street Tuesday around 3:45 p.m.

The officer was stopped at the intersection when a large truck carrying a load of dirt slammed into the back of a smaller white pickup truck. The pickup then rear-ended the squad car.

The officer complained of pain but doesnโ€™t have serious injuries. He was transported to the hospital with neck pain. A female passenger in the pickup was also taken to the hospital with unknown injuries.

Itโ€™s not clear why the larger truck hit the pickup or if the driver will face any charges. 

SDPDโ€™s Traffic Division is investigating.
