7 people, including 2 cops, injured during Brooklyn car chase

Two police officers were among seven injured in a car wreck while pursuing a possibly drunk driver in Brooklyn, police sources said.

The two officers were in an unmarked police cruiser when they spotted the unidentified driver in a black Nissan Altima blow through a red light in South Ozone Park, Queens at around 2:30 a.m., police sources said.

They pursued the suspect more than three miles into East New York after running his license plate and realizing he was wanted for an earlier hit-and-run where he allegedly sideswiped a parked car, sources said.

The wild chase came to an end when the suspect slammed his car into a BMW that was stopped at a red light on Atlantic Avenue near the corner of Van Siclen Avenue, authorities said.

The unmarked police car then crashed into the Altima, causing the officers to suffer neck and back injuries, cops said. They were taken to Jamaica Hospital and were treated for minor injuries.

The five people in the BMW were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, officials said.

The driver is in police custody at Jamaica Hospital and is expected to be charged with DWI and leaving the scene of an accident, sources said.
