Video footage has revealed the aftermath of a crash between two police cars in Redditch.
The video, which was recorded by Adam Smith shortly after the crash at around 5.25pm, shows the front of a police car which has been badly damaged from the impact of the collision.
The number plate was also seen hanging off the front with a number of police cars surrounding the vehicle at the scene.
Giving details about the incident, West Mercia Police said they were called out to an emergency at around 4.50pm on Wednesday, April 3.
Unfortunately, two police cars that were responding to the call were involved in a collision with one another on Church Hill Way.
Four police officers sustained minor injuries in the crash and were taken to hospital as a precaution.
The officers have since been discharged and police have said no third-party vehicles were involved.
Both drivers of the police cars also provided a negative breath test and an internal investigation is now underway as standard practice in these incidents.
