A PARKES police vehicle involved in a collision on Thursday morning was responding to a hoax call in Forbes, it has been confirmed.
The accident occurred at 8am at the intersection of the Newell Highway and Clarke Street.
The police vehicle was travelling south on the Newell Highway with full lights and sirens activated.
The driver of a red Holden utility, a 19-year-old Parkes man, was stopped waiting to turn right into Clarke Street.
He was unaware of the approaching police vehicle behind him and commenced his turn into Clarke Street just as the police car started to overtake him.
The vehicles collided.
The utility ran into one a large pole on an industrial estate sign.
The police car continued into a tree, narrowly missing a large boulder on the passenger side.
