Many people seem to believe that police officers who are either in their patrol cars or on their official motorcycles are basically immune to the dangers that everyone else must deal with when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle. Unfortunately for two motorcycle officers yesterday, that assumption was proven false as they were hit by a vehicle that spun out of control. Injuries were reported as minor to moderate.
According to the Las Vegas Sun:
“Two Metro motorcycle officers suffered minor to moderate injuries Thursday when they collided with a car that lost control and jumped the median on Nellis Boulevard, police said.
The crash happened about 2:15 p.m. between East Bonanza Road and East Harris Avenue.
Evidence at the scene and witness statements indicate a Chevrolet Cobalt was southbound on Nellis in the left lane when the driver hit the brakes and lost control of the car, police said. The car went over the raised center median and into the northbound lanes, police said.
The two police motorcycles, which were headed north in the left lane on Nellis, hit the right side of the Chevy, ejecting both riders, Metro said.
It’s possible that the crash was related to the driving conditions, but the matter remains under investigation.
