According to the California Highway Patrol, officers responded shortly after 2:00 a.m., on the westbound side of the freeway near Crenshaw Boulevard.
Authorities claimed that the driver did not show signs of stopping despite a traffic break that was set up. As a result, officers intentionally collided with the wrong-way driver to prevent him from hitting others.
Upon impact, the involved officers sustained minor injuries while the motorist remained unresponsive with a pulse. Eventually, medical personnel took all three to a hospital for further treatment.
