A multi-vehicle crash involving two police vehicles left several people injured in Oakland, California, on Saturday, according to law enforcement officials.

The Oakland Police Department (OPD) told Fox News Digital that the crash occurred in the 700 block of Mandela Parkway, near the West Oakland train station. Photos of the scene showed wrecked police vehicles with broken windows and open doors, along with debris in the street.

Authorities were alerted to the situation at around 2:45 p.m. local time. According to Oakland police, two police cars belonging to the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Police Department were involved in the crash.

"Several vehicle occupants sustained injuries during the collision," an OPD spokesperson said. "Paramedic personnel responded to the scene to assist and transported the individuals to area hospitals for treatment."

In August, the president of the Oakland Police Officer's Association (OPOA) slammed progressive then-Mayor Sheng Thao, who was recalled in November, for allegedly not doing enough to fight crime in the city, which is considered one of the most dangerous in the Golden State.

"Every day, our citizens feel the tragedies. That they cannot exit their own home or walk to the streets of Oakland, calling 911 and not getting the services they need," the OPOA's Huy Nguyen said at the time.

In July, the Oakland Police Department was criticized for allegedly under-reporting its crime statistics after claiming that crimes had fallen 33%. At the time, the police's report was touted by Thao as an accomplishment for the city.
