Four cops hospitalized after their NYPD SUVs collide in the Bronx

Four cops miraculously survived a violent collision that totaled their two NYPD SUVs early Sunday morning.

The officers were in the Parkchester section of the Bronx responding to reports of a shooting when their SUVs slammed into each other near the intersection of White Plains Road and Archer Street just after midnight, police said.

Their vehicles were totaled in the wreck — and the crash was loud enough to startle neighbors, one of whom heard the shrieks from one of the injured officers.

“One of the cops–he was on the ground. You could hear him screaming. There were so many cops here,” said one witness, who declined to give her name.

One SUV ended up in the middle of White Plains with its front passenger side wheel completely ripped from its axle. The other had crashed head-on into a couple parked cars on the western side of the road between Archer Street and Wood Avenue.

“We all heard the impact. We heard the bang,” she said. “It was heavy. Heavy impact. That’s when we came out. After that all you heard were sirens.”

The four officers suffered non-life-threatening injuries, a spokeswoman said; the two were rushed to Jacobi Medical Center.

Police reported no other injuries in the crash.
