Two people have been sent to hospital after a collision involving an SUV and a London police cruiser on its way to a call at a locked-down Walmart store.

The two people in the SUV were taken to hospital with "non-life threatening" injuries.

Authorities say the Walmart was placed under lockdown Thursday after someone spotted a teenage boy in the parking lot carrying an air gun that looked like a rifle.

The lockdown was lifted five minutes later, and the teen was let off with a warning.

This is the second collision involving a London police cruiser this week.

On Sunday, a 56-year-old man was charged with impaired driving after a cruiser was rear-ended.
