A police cruiser collided with another car, then ran through a fence and struck a house yesterday afternoon in Logan.

The police car, which was responding to an assist with lights and sirens, collided with the vehicle shortly before 2 p.m. on the 600 block of West Lindley Avenue, then careened through a fence and hit the side of a house.

Two officers were taken to Einstein, where they are in good condition and are expected to be treated and released. A man and woman driving in the second car were hospitalized at Temple, where they remain in unknown condition.
