GARDEN GROVE (CBSLA) -- A Garden Grove police officer was treated for minor injuries after a multi-vehicle crash on Monday afternoon.
Three others were also taken to the hospital for their injuries.
The crash happened around 3 p.m. at Chapman Avenue and Haster Street in Garden Grove, according to Lt. Carl Whitney.
The police cruiser was traveling eastbound on Chapman passing through a green light when it was struck by a vehicle that went through a red light, Whitney said.
As a result, the police cruiser spun out and slammed into a third car, which had three people inside.

The driver who failed to stop at the red light was not hurt.
