PALMDALE – Emergency vehicles were called to the scene, but no one was transported Friday after a driver lost control in a local intersection and crashed into a unmarked Los Angeles County Sheriff’s car, authorities said.
The collision was reported around 11:45 a.m. at Fort Tejon Road and Pearblossom Highway, according to Palmdale Community Relations deputy Jodi Wolfe.
A Palmdale Sheriff’s detective was headed westbound on Pearblossom Highway and was stopped at the traffic signal at Fort Tejon Road, Wolfe said.
The driver of a white Toyota Scion, headed southbound on Fort Tejon Road, was attempting to make a left turn on the green arrow, according to Wolfe.
“During that left turn he lost control of his vehicle, spinning it around and hitting the detective car at the stoplight,” Wolfe said.
No injuries were reported, Wolfe added.

Thank-God the detective was safe and not injured. He should take a couple of weeks of disability just to make sure he/she is 100% and isn’t stressed. No matter how much they are paid ($ 5,973.00 – 16,736.98 Month) Their service to managing the civilian population can’t go unappreciated.
The person that struck the deputies car should be punished to to the fullest extent of the law. No exceptions. Thug driver learn to driver. Sheriffs should put cameras and speed traps in the area so this will not happen again. Also they should ask CHP to setup speed readers and inspections points in that artery to further control civilians transportation.

C Banuelos your comment is so over the top it takes the 2014 unintentional humor award. What part of this basic fender bender accident makes the driver a ‘thug’ that needs to be ‘punished to the fullest extent of the law’? Car accidents happens thousands of times a day-that’s why they are called accidents and people have car insurance. Take your meds.

You can guarantee the driver of the white car had a needle in his arm, a breathalyzer in his mouth, and a swab in his cheek within 30 seconds.
