Two St. Petersburg police officers escaped serious injuries early Friday when their undercover car was hit by a stolen pickup truck.

Even worse, the officers' car caught fire after the crash.

The crash happened at Bay Street and Corey Boulevard at 1:30 a.m.

The officers were tracking stolen vehicles when one of the vehicles, a pickup truck, slammed into the undercover car. The officers had minor injuries and were taken to the hospital to be checked out. They are not seriously injured.

Three juveniles in the pick-up truck had no visible injuries and were arrested. One of the juveniles was taken to a hospital for precautionary reasons.

Not long after the crash, another stolen car was spotted on 55th Avenue N near 73rd Street. That driver was also arrested.
