A Winnipeg police cruiser was involved in an incident with a passenger car early Sunday morning on the northeast side of Cumberland St. and Balmoral Ave.
A video circulating on Facebook shows the damaged cruiser adjacent to a white passenger vehicle, both of which appear to have their airbags deployed. The Winnipeg police car appears to have crashed into a fence.
Winnipeg Police Service Const. Claude Chancy confirmed the incident on Sunday morning and said it occurred around 6:15 a.m. He said the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service arrived and checked out the passengers, adding that it did not appear anyone was transported to hospital. The officers were not injured. Cumberland St. was closed for roughly two hours afterward.
The service did not share information on the cause of the accident.
Debris from an incident involving a Winnipeg police cruiser and a passenger car remains on the sidewalk on the northeast corner of Cumberland Street and Balmoral Avenue early morning on Sunday.
