City cop out of hospital after accident

By AP/KWMU

St. Louis, MO – A St. Louis police officer has been released from the hospital after a late-night accident Tuesday on I-55.

The name of the officer has not been released. Authorities say the officer was on the southbound shoulder of the interstate for a routine traffic stop around 10:15 when a van rear-ended his police cruiser, then flipped over the car, pinning the officer inside.

The officer and the van driver were taken to Saint Louis University Hospital. The officer was treated and released. No word on how the van driver is doing.
