A resident of Des Moines, Iowa, told local media she and four of her friends were injured by a police car which supposedly ran a red light, crashing into the side of this Chevy Impala.
Officer Mitchell cameron Lee told investigators that he was responding to a call when the accident occurred and had the lights on, but the driver of the Impala says that's not the case. However, officer Lee's report does give us a clue as to what happened, as it says he didn't see the car because a building obstructed his view until the last second.

“Everything happened so fast. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe we got in a wreck, let alone with a police officer," said E'Shayla Kelson, 22, who was driving the damaged car.

Kelson says one of her friends was taken to hospital with neck, head and arm pain, and later all four people went to Mercy Medical Center. Kelson said she would like Lee to apologize and the police to pay for damage to the car. She said the 2013 Chevy Impala is a rental (which means it's ensured), as her car was stolen about a week before.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
