NEW YORK (CBS 2) – A violent early morning crash in the Bronx left six police officers hurt.

The officers were in the middle of a pursuit in the Tremont section of the borough just before 6 a.m. Saturday when the accident occurred.

One of the unmarked cars was so badly crushed that it had to have its roof cut off to get the officers free.

The officers were taken to Saint Barnabas Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
