A 19-year-old was arrested for crashing into an MTA police patrol car Tuesday night in Brooklyn, according to authorities.
MTA officials say officers inside the MTA patrol vehicle were preparing to stop at a red light near 53rd Street and Third Avenue when they saw a vehicle speeding behind them.
The vehicle struck the patrol car, which spun and then hit a pillar. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
The two officers, the driver of the other vehicle and a passenger were taken to NYU Langone Brooklyn Hospital with minor injuries.
Police later identified the driver as 19-year-old Ethan Oyola. He has been charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving and several other traffic offenses.
