An officer from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is recovering from injuries sustained in a crash in downtown Las Vegas Thursday evening.

The crash occurred at 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Sahara and Decatur as a police cruiser collided with a Toyota Corolla.

The driver of the small Toyota and another officer in the cruiser were uninjured in the scrape, but the driver of the cop car suffered minor injuries.

The cause of the accident has not been released by police, and the intersection has closed down for five hours as the wreck was cleaned up and an investigation was conducted.

This particular intersection is the location of many a dangerous accident, claiming dozens of cars and a few lives already this year.
