CITY MOTOR OFFICER INJURED IN CRASH ON INTERSTATE 795


 
(REISTERSTOWN, MD) – A Baltimore police motorcycle officer was injured this morning while traveling on Interstate 795 en route to training in Sykesville, Md.

The injured officer is assigned to the Baltimore Police Department’s Special Operation Section. The officer was transported by Baltimore County Medic Unit to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center. Preliminary information indicates the officer sustained non-life threatening injuries.

At about 8:18 a.m. today, the officer was traveling northbound on Interstate 795 near Owings Mills Blvd. when the officer’s motorcycle struck the metal connecting portion of the roadway between the road and the overpass. The motorcycle began to sway back and forth. To avoid striking any other vehicles, the officer laid the motorcycle on its side, causing the motorcycle to slide on the wet pavement.

Maryland state troopers from the Golden Ring Barrack responded to handle the accident investigation. Members of the Baltimore Police Department also responded and will be conducting their own departmental investigation.
