COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A Colorado Springs police officer is OK but his police dog has more serious injuries from a rollover crash Friday night.
The accident happened when 52-year-old Michael Riggs of Colorado Springs slammed into a police sport-utility vehicle driven by Officer Brent Ambuel, a six-year veteran.
Both drivers were injured but treated and released. Also hurt in the crash was Ambuel’s K9 partner, Hunter, who suffered internal injuries and remained under the care of a veterinarian Saturday.
Ambuel was responding to a call of a man with a gun when the crash occurred. Riggs was cited for careless driving and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
