A Prince William County police officer was injured after her cruiser and a car were involved in a t-bone collision on the Prince William Parkway at Lake Jackson Drive Thursday morning.

According to spokesman Officer Jonathan Perok, the officer was on duty and heading westbound on Lake Jackson Dr. just before 9 a.m. in a 2008 Chevy Impala. Tuyen Thi Hgoc Tran, 38, was driving a Kia Forte southbound on the Prince William Parkway. The cars crashed as they came into the intersection at the same time. 

Perok said the investigation revealed Tran, of Manassas, had a red light when she entered the intersection. She was charged with disregarding a red light and was released on a summons.

The officer and Tran were the only people in the cars, and both were taken to a local hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries.
