The crash happened near West Fourth Avenue and 37th Street.

According to Hialeah police, the officer was driving north on Fourth Avenue, on his way to respond to a burglary call, when his cruiser collided with a car driven by a 19-year-old woman. Both vehicles went into the water in a nearby canal.

A Good Samaritan jumped in and pulled the 19-year-old from her car through a window. Another Good Samaritan and more police officers responding to the same burglary call pulled the officer and his K-9, Shaq, from the cruiser.

No serious injuries were reported.

Hialeah police and fire rescuers were investigating. Workers planned to use a tow truck to remove the cruiser and the car from the canal.

Drivers are advised to avoid the area.
