Motorcycle Officer Injured during Auto Accident

In Van Nuys, sources are saying that a Los Angeles motorcycle officer suffered injuries this week after his bike was struck by a car. 

Police say the car accident occurred on the 6100 block of North Sepulveda Boulevard, just north of the Orange Line Busway at approximately 1:00 PM.  LAPD Officer Mary Brady, the assistant watch commander of the Valley Traffic Division said, "The officer was assigned to Valley Traffic and has been a motorcycle officer for 25 to 27 years."

She also said, "Initially we thought it was a hit and run but the driver remained at the scene and is being interviewed by our investigators."  Brady added that an erroneous report was made about a bus being involved in the collision.

According to Brady, the officer was hit from behind and knocked off of his motorcycle.  She said that the officer had to be taken to the hospital for treatment, but his injuries were not severe.
