Quoting Pasadena Police Lt.

A responding sheriff’s patrol car and a civilian car collided at the intersection.  Three cars were involved — including two patrol units — and five patients , including one deputy, were transported to local hospitals with minor injuries.

This was the second accident in the area this morning.  A car going northbound on the 1100 block of North Hill Avenue crashed into a parked car and flipped over at about 10:40 AM.  The two male occupants suffered minor injuries.
