When officials arrived at the scene they located a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department patrol cruiser with major front-end damage. It was facing the wrong way on a sidewalk about 30 to 50 feet from the light pole it struck.
Responding officials also found vehicle parts and debris, including the cruiser’s front bumper and push bar, scattered throughout the area and across the roadway.
According to witnesses the deputy, who was the sole occupant in the vehicle when the crash occurred, complained of pain to her legs and was shaken up, but was otherwise uninjured.
Paramedics evaluated and treated her at the scene, but she reportedly declined further treatment and was not transported to a hospital for further treatment. She and other deputies were later seen removing personal items and tactical equipment from the wrecked cruiser, which was later towed from the scene.
Investigating deputies and CHP officers were seen interviewing the occupants of a grey sedan, but it was not immediately known if the vehicle had been involved in the collision or if the car’s occupants witnessed the crash.

No other parties were injured in the crash, according to witnesses.
The cause of the collision remains under investigation by CHP and the circumstances behind what led to the crash were unknown at the time of this report.
