The Ohio State Highway Patrol is looking into a Stark County crash involving a police cruiser, where two officers were injured.

It happened at just before 7:30 PM Friday night on State Route 44 in Marlboro Township.

The patrol says 32 year-old Marlboro Township police officer Christoper Kenneally was trying to make a traffic stop, when another car driving northbound on Route 44 went left of center.

Kenneally tried to avoid the car, and the patrol car ended up going off the right side of the road, striking a utility pole.

Kenneally and 29 year-old Marlboro Township police cadet Brian Stanley, a passenger in the cruiser, were transported to Aultman Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Both officers were wearing seat belts. The crash is still under investigation.
