An East Ridge Police patrol car wrecked on Sunday afternoon while responding on a burglary call.
The officer was not injured.
He was responding to a "burglary in progress" call on DuPont Street.
While negotiating a turn, the car left the roadway and struck a chain link fence and a tree.
The traffic crash is being investigated by the Tennessee Highway Patrol, which is standard procedure for the department.
Other units responding to the burglary call encountered a group of juveniles in the vicinity.
That investigation is continuing. No arrests have been made.
