Authorities say a Mt. Pleasant man ran a red light on Sunday and crashed into a Charleston Police Department officer's cruiser on East Bay Street.

According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, the wreck happened at the corner of East Bay and Columbus streets just after 6 p.m.

Hart is charged with disregarding a traffic signal.  He was not hurt in the wreck, troopers said.
