UPPER DARBY, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- An Upper Darby, Pa. police officer crashed early Thursday morning during a police pursuit.

No officers were injured.

Action News obtained cellphone video, which shows other officers responding to the crash site.

It happened around 12:30 a.m. on the 5300 block of Baltimore Pike in Upper Darby Township.

The suspect was taken into custody.
