The MPD K9 unit was navigating the intersection of NW Broad Street and South Church Street when the collision occurred, impacting a passenger vehicle, identified as a black Mercedes Benz 2-door car.
Fortunately, the mishap resulted in minor injuries, with the officer sustaining a small cut to the nose. However, the K9 companion accompanying the officer emerged from the incident unscathed.
