ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Two Rochester Police cars crashed into each other on the Inner Loop near Scio Street on Sunday night while responding to what RPD is calling a false report of a kidnapping.
One officer was taken to the hospital as a precaution, but no one was seriously injured. Just before 10 p.m., RPD responded to a 911 call for a kidnapping involving a vehicle, but officers eventually determined that it was just an argument.
Officers said they found the vehicle believed to be involved and saw a person walking away from it. As police requested backup, two cruisers heading to the scene collided, damaging both of them.
