OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Four people are injured when an Omaha police cruiser and another vehicle collide in south Omaha.

Officer Joseph Hall was rushing to a call with lights and siren on when his cruiser and a Honda Accord crashed shortly after midnight Sunday.

The impact sent Hall's cruiser up against the wall of a nearby building and pushed the Accord onto the property of a nearby gas station.

Hall was released from a hospital after getting treated for a minor injury. Three people in the Accord were admitted to a hospital with injuries not considered life threatening.

Both vehicles sustained heavy front-end damage.

The cause of the crash is being investigated, but police say alcohol was not a factor.
