A dog handler and two other people were injured after a vehicle collided with the dog handlers van yesterday (30th) morning. .

A statement released by Northumbria Police said:

‘At around 10.50am, Sunday December 30, police received a report of dangerous driving on Hylton Road in Sunderland.

‘Police were deployed to the area after a silver Vauxhall Corsa was reported to be driving on the wrong side of the road and had collided with another vehicle before driving off.

‘Officers then received further calls from concerned members of the public at nearby locations.

‘Officers carried out a search for the alleged vehicle with the assistance of the police helicopter and whilst police were responding to the incident, the offending vehicle has collided with a police dog unit on Mowbray Road.

‘Two suspects and a police officer were taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.

‘One of the suspects, a 30 year-old man has been taken into police custody.

‘The police dogs involved have been checked over by a vet and are not seriously injured’.

Just visited our injured @npdogsection officer from yesterday's incident. Thankfully he's on the mend but nursing three broken ribs (still got out and detained the suspect) 👏👏. PD Kassey back at home also in good spirits 🐶⚽️ pic.twitter.com/INTBCp0UAP

A tweet shared on the Northumbria Police Dogs Twitter account also confirmed that the dogs were ‘ok’ but ‘shaken’ and that the dog handler is still receiving treatment for his injuries.

One of our handlers was involved in a collision. His dogs are ok but shaken. Our handler is still receiving treatment, hopefully he’ll be ok. The thoughts of the department are with him.
A person is in custody as a result. https://t.co/W6AXRo6Enu

PD ‘Krush’, one of the sections general purpose dogs, recently made the headlines after nearly 100,000 people shared a video of him balancing some biscuits (and later a sausage) on his nose.

The video showed just how well-trained and obedient police dogs are.

The team here at ESN and ESH wish both the dogs and their handler a speedy recovery, whilst we also hope that the individuals responsible spend as much time as possible banged-up and off of the streets.

Before you go...

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.

How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
