The officers didn’t appear to have serious injuries from the crash, which happened about 4 p.m. at South 74th Street and South Tacoma Way. Officials still were investigating the crash, but it appeared the patrol car, which had its lights and sirens activated, was responding to a call when it came to a full stop at the intersection. As it started to edge out, the Honda hit it. No one in the Honda was taken to the hospital.
