Officials say the crash happened at around 3:30 a.m. at Washington Avenue and East 168th Street.
A driver ran a red light and an officer swerved his cruiser to get out of the way, authorities said. The officer crashed into a light pole.
That officer behind the wheel was not injured, but another officer was taken to Jacobi Hospital for a leg injury. Officials say he is expected to be fine.
The driver that caused the crash sped away from the scene in a red range rover with North Carolina license plates, officials said.
An investigation is ongoing.
