Emergency crews responded to the scene of an officer-involved crash in Madison involving two vehicles.

The crash happened just before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 800 block of Old Hickory Boulevard West off of Port Drive.

A preliminary investigation showed that Officer Jesse Cox was traveling west on Old Hickory Boulevard when another vehicle that had been traveling east hit him on the driver's side of his patrol vehicle.
