PHOENIX (AP) - Authorities say a veteran Phoenix police sergeant is among five people who have been injured in a car accident.

They say all five people were transported to hospitals Tuesday afternoon and their injuries are considered serious but not life-threatening.

Authorities say the sergeant driving the police SUV was on duty and suffered non-life threatening injuries.



Police say the SUV collided with a sedan that then struck a family of three walking on a sidewalk.

They say one of the adults was injured and the 5 month-old child in a stroller suffered a broken arm.

Police say the sedan was driven by a man who had his 5-year-old daughter seated inside.

They both were taken to hospitals for treatment.

Police say the names of the five people injured aren’t immediately available.
