A Toronto police officer was taken to hospital after a police cruiser collided with another vehicle in Etobicoke late Sunday morning.

Police say officers were responding to a call with emergency equipment activated when the cruiser was involved in a collision at The Queensway and Kipling Avenue at around 9:38 a.m.

One officer was transported to hospital by Toronto paramedics with non-life-threatening injuries. Police say there were no injuries reported among the occupants of the other vehicle.

Investigators say a traffic light pole was knocked down, causing traffic signals to be out at the intersection.

Southbound Kipling Avenue was closed at The Queensway while crews worked at the scene.

Police later confirmed they were no longer on scene and that all lanes have reopened, except for the northbound left-turn lane, which remains blocked until repairs to the traffic light pole are completed.

Drivers are urged to expect delays in the area.
