Around 1:15 a.m., a female deputy from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station was heading eastbound on Magic Mountain Parkway in response to call, when she got into a car accident.
“A traffic collision occurred between her patrol car and another vehicle, driven by an adult female, at the Valencia Boulevard intersection,” said Shirley Miller, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Station.
The deputy was transported to the hospital for medical treatment, but has since been released. The other party involved in the collision declined medical treatment, according to Sheriff’s officials.
In the second incident, another female deputy from the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station was transporting a male adult prisoner to the Inmate Reception Center in Los Angeles around 2:50 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Suddenly, the prisoner became violent and started kicking out the rear windows of the deputy’s patrol car, according to officials.
“The deputy pulled over her vehicle by the side of the I-5 freeway at Hollywood Way,” said Miller. “She was able to stop the prisoner from escaping and assisted in detaining him as units from LAPD and Burbank PD arrived.”
The deputy suffered minor injuries, but was not transported to the hospital, according to officials.
Neither of the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s deputies were seriously injured in either incident, according to Miller.
“They’re both going to be okay,” said Miller.
