The boarded-up side of KC Market on the corner of Sixth Street and Agnes Street is the only evidence left of the excitement that took place on Sunday morning.

Just before 11 a.m., a New Westminster police cruiser hit the north side of the small grocery store, coming to rest with its front end in the business.

"The police were responding to numerous 911 calls about a fight in the 500 block of Columbia Street," said Sgt. Gary Weishaar of the New Westminster Police Service.

Weishaar said the officer was heading south on Sixth with his emergency equipment on when he had to turn the vehicle to avoid a car that had turned into his path.

Weishaar said the officer received minor injuries and nobody else was hurt in the accident.

KC Market remained closed on Tuesday, with a sign notifying its customers that the shop was temporarily closed due to the accident.

New Westminster Police Service Chief Const. Lorne Zapotichny told The Record Tuesday morning that he was still awaiting more information about the accident from the weekend duty officer.

He said he's always concerned when a police officer and cruiser are involved in an accident, but he couldn't comment until he had more details.
