Investigators are trying to determine why an Iowa driver collided with a Cedar Rapids police cruiser.

Cedar Rapids police say the crash happened around 1:40 a.m. Sunday after the other driver crossed the centerline.

The westbound driver struck the marked police car.

Both drivers were injured and taken to a hospital for treatment before being released.
