INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana State Police trooper is recovering after a crash on Indianapolis’ west side on Saturday.

It happened just after noon near the intersection of Taft Street and Washington Street.

State police say Trooper Nathan Parton was responding to a domestic battery case with his emergency lights activated when a car ignored his lights and went through the intersection, hitting the side of his cruiser.

Trooper Parton was taken to Eskenazi Hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The driver not injured but was cited for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
