CHARLOTTE (WBTV) - A female CMPD officer is recovering after her cruiser was rear-ended by another car on I-85 early Saturday morning.

Around 2:30 a.m., the officer stopped, blue lights flashing, to handle another accident just north of the I-77 merge.

That's when another car rear-ended the patrol car.

Police say the officer was taken to the hospital, but she's expected to be OK. No one else was hurt.
