Two Trotwood police cruisers were hit Monday, with at least one officer suffering minor injuries, according Trotwood Police Department.

It was not clear if anyone else was injured.

One of the cruisers was blocking traffic for another crash that was under investigation Monday morning on Salem Avenue.

The cruiser was being used to close Salem Road at the Denlinger Road intersection for a separate two-vehicle crash on Salem Avenue around 8:30 a.m., according to a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office crash report.

A 42-year-old man was driving the 2008 Pontiac G6 and ignored a traffic control device at the intersection prior to the crash, according to the report.

It is not clear if the second cruiser was also on Salem Avenue when it was hit. The Ohio State Highway Patrol is investigating that crash.

We are working to learn more and will update this story as more details are released.
