WASHINGTON (AP) – Officials say a police officer and an Uber driver are hurt after a crash in Washington.

Police Chief Peter Newsham tweets that the crash happened early Monday in northwest Washington.

He says the officer rear-ended an Uber driver and both were taken to hospitals with injuries that aren’t thought to be life-threatening.

Police say the officer was responding to a call with the vehicle’s lights and siren on.

Ride-sharing services such as Uber have become much more popular as a way to get around D.C. and other metropolitan cities around the U.S.

It is unclear as to who was at fault in the incident.
