A UA Police Department patrol car collided with another car at the intersection of East Sixth Street and North Euclid Avenue Thursday.

The patrol car was responding to a priority call and was headed northbound on Euclid. The other vehicle involved was going westbound on Sixth.

Witnesses said the patrol car was facing a red light, but had its emergency lights and sirens activated when it paused briefly at the intersection and then proceeded north.

The witnesses said they thought the intersection was clear until the white passenger car skidded and collided with the patrol car.

No injuries were reported. The Tucson Police Department is investigating the crash.
