Police told KCCI that an officer driving in the 200 block of Southeast Sixth Street notified the department at around 7:08-a.m., that he had been involved in a crash. The officer, who police said was a 49-year-old male, and 23-year veteran of DMPD, was trapped in his vehicle after the crash.

Firefighters were called to the scene to mechanically extricate the officer from the vehicle. He was taken to a nearby hospital in serious but stable condition. The K-9 was treated at an emergency veterinary hospital and released.
