HUNTINGTON BEACH (CBSLA) – Four people were hurt, including two children, in a collision between a police cruiser and a minivan Monday in Huntington Beach.

None of the injuries were considered serious, according to Huntington Beach police Officer Angela Bennett.

A mother and her two children were taken to an area hospital as a precaution. The officer in the police car was also taken to an area hospital, but details on the injuries were not immediately available.
