A crash involving a Des Moines police vehicle last night left four people hospitalized.
A police news release says the marked patrol SUV was on a call with its emergency equipment activated when it collided with a car shortly after 6 P.M.
Witnesses say the car was pulling out of a private driveway and failed to yield. The car then hit a utility pole before coming to a stop. Those hurt include the police officer, both people in the car, and a pedestrian who was hit by debris.
All four are said to have non-life-threatening injuries.
