Corrections & Clarifications: A previous version of this article misnamed a street. The crash happened on 83rd Avenue. 

Police arrested a man on suspicion of impaired driving after a truck smashed head-first into a Peoria police vehicle on Tuesday morning, according to Peoria police. 

A white truck going north on 83rd Avenue ran head-on into a Peoria police SUV just north of Sweetwater Avenue at about 6:30 a.m., police said. 

Both drivers were taken to a hospital. The officer was later released while the other driver was treated for minor injuries and later arrested on suspicion of DUI, according to police.

The man’s name was not released by police.

Police blocked off 83rd Avenue for an investigation most of the morning, reopening it at about 9 a.m.

No other people were injured. 

Officers were continuing their investigation.
