CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland police officer is under investigation after surveillance video shows that he ran a red light moments before another car struck his cruiser late last month at a busy downtown intersection.

Cleveland patrolman Robert Cummings, a 15-year department veteran, did not have the cruiser's emergency lights and sirens on as he drove through the light at East 9th Street and Euclid Avenue about 10:30 p.m Aug. 29, video captured by RTA cameras shows.

The light was red for at least 40 seconds before his cruiser entered the intersection heading east on Euclid Avenue.

A northbound 2008 Kia Optima on East 9th Street smashed into the passenger side of the cruiser and sent it spinning sideways.

Cummings flipped on the lights once the car came to a rest. He flipped them off and back on again.

The crash came minutes after a Cleveland Indians game ended at Progressive Field.

Cleveland police spokeswoman Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia declined to say if Cummings was assigned a call to investigate prior to the crash citing an investigation.

Cummings has not been cited with any traffic violations, according to court records. The department's accident investigation unit is still looking into the incident, Ciaccia said.

Both men suffered minor injuries in the crash and were treated at MetroHealth, the report says.

Cummings is still out on medical leave, Ciaccia said.
