CHICOPEE — A city police officer spun out on wet pavement and hit a pole on Granby Road with his cruiser Thursday evening.
The officer, who was not identified, was taken to the hospital as a precaution but was not seriously injured. The cruiser was badly damaged, Police Lt. Donald Strange said.
The officer was on patrol when he drove around a curve and lost control. “The pavement was wet and the tires weren’t that great,” Strange said.
The accident happened at about 7 p.m. No other vehicles were involved, Strange said.
