Clovis police officer involved in car crash

CLOVIS -- A Clovis police officer was taken to Plains Regional Medical Center on Wednesday night after being involved in an auto accident at First and Sycamore streets.

Clovis Fire Chief Mike Nolen said the officer was responding to an auto accident on Mabry Drive when the officer's wreck occurred. Nolen said the officer did not appear to be seriously injured, though the police car collided with a utility pole.

Nolen said he did not know the officer's gender and had no information about the accident on Mabry. He said another car was involved with the police officer's accident, but that driver was not injured.

We will have more information as it becomes available.
