Two officers were hurt in a crash Friday on the Northwest Side after their squad car was struck by a drunk driver, according to police.

The officers and the male driver of the Ford were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries, police said.

The male in the Ford will be cited as the crash appears to be alcohol-related, police said.
