A police sergeant was hospitalised  after an early-morning accident on July 21 at the Pleasantville bypass.

Police said the officer,who was assigned to the San Fernando Magistrate's Court, was driving his silver Toyota Aqua when it collided with a silver Nissan Tiida near the Chaconia Junction and More Vino restaurant.

He was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital along with his female passenger. The driver of the other car told officers at the Mon Repos Police Station their colleague broke the red light and collided with him.

Police were unable to get the officer's side of the story, as he was sedated. Staff at the hospital told investigators he was in stable condition.
