“It is unclear at this stage what caused the collision and it is still too early to comment until the matter is finalised. The matter will, however, then be forwarded to the senior public prosecutor to make a decision on the issue,” Capt Jethro Mtshali, Kempton SAPS spokesperson, said.
According to Mtshali, the driver of the police vehicle, a BMW 1 Series, is a warrant officer stationed at Benoni.
The officer sustained minor injuries and was taken to the nearest hospital for treatment.
The driver of the other car was uninjured, but both vehicles were extensively damaged.
