One pedestrian is dead and another is critically wounded following a car accident in Glendale involving a police officer responding to a call, officials said.

The accident happened Saturday afternoon as the Glendale police officer was responding to a non-emergency call while driving on 67th Avenue in the area of Glendale Avenue, according to the Glendale Police Department.

Police said the officer was not using the emergency lights because the call was a non-emergency incident.
