COLORADO SPRINGS — Commuters were stuck finding alternative routes Monday afternoon while the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) Major Crash Team investigated a crash involving a CSPD officer.

The crash shut down the intersection of North Carefree Circle and Powers Boulevard for hours Monday afternoon while the Major Crash Team conducted its investigation.

CSPD tells News5 the officer was not injured as a result of the crash. CSPD says other drivers involved were transported with minor injuries to an area hospital.

This is the second CSPD Cruiser to have been involved in an accident at this intersection this month, with the second happening at the beginning of April. You can watch our coverage of that incident in the video player below.

According to CSPD, the crash caused a separate accident at North Carefree Circle and Rio Vista Drive. At this time, it is unclear if anyone in this crash was injured.
