TOMPKINSVILLE, Staten Island (WABC) -- Two NYPD officers are recovering after their police cruiser was wrecked in a crash.

The pair were apparently enroute to a call involving a man with a gun in Staten Island.

It happened near Victory Boulevard and Montgomery Street in the Tompkinsville section.

The officers said another vehicle attempted to make a U-turn, which cause the police cruiser to swerve out of the way to avoid a collision.

Instead of hitting the other car, the officers slammed into a building.



They were taken to a nearby hospital and are expected to recover.
