Four people — two of whom are Henderson police officers — were injured in a three-vehicle crash on the 215 Beltway Thursday night.

Westbound traffic on the 215 was temporarily diverted off at Valle Verde Drive after the 9:30 p.m. crash, according to the Henderson Police Department.

The two Henderson officers were conducting a traffic stop on a woman driver prior to the crash. They were in front of an unmarked patrol car when it was rear-ended by a third vehicle.

Henderson police said the two officers had leg injuries and both civilian drivers were hurt. The driver of the rear-ending vehicle had minor injuries.

They were taken to local hospitals.

The 215 has since reopened.
