A Las Vegas police officer and a driver suffered minor injuries in a crash early Monday in the eastern valley.

About 4:35 a.m., a Metropolitan Police Department patrol car, heading south on Lamb Boulevard with its lights and emergency sirens on, turned east on Charleston Boulevard when it was struck by a black Nissan Sentra, said Lt. David Gordon.

Both drivers, who complained of pain, were taken to a hospital.

The vehicles were moderately damaged, said Gordon.

No other details were available.

Lanes were closed in the intersection during the investigation but had cleared by about 8:30 a.m.
