A Bridgeport police officer was taken to the hospital after getting injured in a crash while she was on duty early Saturday morning.
Officers said the Bridgeport Emergency Communications Center received a report from an officer around 12:40 a.m. saying she was involved in a crash at the intersection of Park Avenue and Olive Street.
According to investigators, Officer Ovelize Elena was driving north on Park Avenue while heading to assist another officer on a call.
As she was approaching the intersection of Olive Street, a Honda traveling east on Olive Street didn't properly stop at the stop sign, police said. As the Honda crossed the intersection, it collided with Officer Elena's police car.
