A Red Deer Mountie was taken to hospital Thursday morning after his cruiser was involved in a crash with a City of Red Deer vehicle.
The officer was responding to a complaint at 8:40 a.m. when the collision occurred with a City of Red Deer parks and maintenance truck near the intersection of Hermary Street and 58th Avenue.
Both vehicles were travelling at low speeds at the time of the crash, say police.
