Two police officers and two police canines were injured after a marked police vehicle overturned during an early morning operation in Penal on Saturday.

According to reports, around 2:40 a.m., Acting Corporal Ramkissoon of the Point Fortin Canine Unit was driving a police SUV along Penal Rock Road, in the company of Constable Boodoo and two canines, Diesel and Alpha, when an oncoming vehicle reportedly veered into their path near Angel’s Furniture Workshop.

To avoid a head-on collision, Ramkissoon swerved left, causing the vehicle to run off the road and overturn in a grassy area.
