WASHINGTON (KGO) -- Two police officers are among those who have been taken to a hospital after being struck by a pickup truck at a busy Washington D.C. intersection.

The officers were on bicycles when the truck swerved around a bus, striking them at 9 p.m. local time.

A traffic aide and two pedestrians were also hit -- for a total of five victims.

One officer is listed in very critical condition. The others have non-life-threatening injuries.

Both the driver and another person in the vehicle have been arrested.
