MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - Police are investigating a car crash that killed an off-duty officer in Memphis, Tennessee.

Officer Nicholas Blow, 31, was driving away from a police station parking lot on Monday night when his car was hit by another vehicle, the Memphis Police Department said on Twitter.

Blow was taken to a hospital, where he died. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to a hospital, where he was being treated Tuesday for injuries that were not considered critical, police said. No charges have been filed.
