Several people are in hospital Tuesday morning, after a high-speed crash in Vancouver’s west end involving a police cruiser.

Police say the cruiser was heading southbound on Denman around 2 a.m. when a silver Acura flew through the intersection at Alberni and smashed into the cruiser, which had its lights on.

The officer was responding to a robbery call at the time.

The Acura ended up on the sidewalk and caused damage to a restaurant patio. The police cruiser and the Acura were heavily damaged while two parked, unoccupied vehicles sustained minor damage.
