There was a collision between a passenger car and a police car in Brusio GR on Wednesday evening. One police officer was slightly injured.
A police patrol was driving south from Poschiavo shortly after 7 p.m. to provide assistance following an emergency report to the police from a private individual, according to the cantonal police.
During the journey, the patrol received information that a person who was allegedly in a state of mental emergency was driving towards them. The police officers then blocked the road with the patrol vehicle. The approaching 25-year-old man did not stop his vehicle and collided with the police car.
