An officer-involved crash left one person in critical condition with life-threatening injuries.

One person was hospitalized and is in critical condition after a Fort Worth police vehicle collided with another car over the weekend, police said Monday.

The crash occurred shortly after 4 a.m. Sunday when the driver of a Chevrolet Malibu traveling westbound on Camp Bowie Boulevard attempted to turn left on a flashing yellow light at Clayton Road, according to the Fort Worth Police Department.

A Fort Worth police SVU traveling eastbound on Camp Bowie crashed into the front passenger side of the Malibu, police said.

The passenger in the Malibu received CPR at the scene and was transported to a nearby hospital.

The SUV's emergency lights were not on at the time of the collision, a police spokesperson said.
