Press Release: Motor Officer Injured in Traffic Collision
On August 15 at approximately 6 p.m., a Hanford Police Department motor officer was responding to a reported traffic collision. While traveling eastbound on Grangeville Boulevard, approaching 10th Avenue, a small pickup truck entered the roadway from East Street without yielding to oncoming traffic, crossing into the officer's path.
Despite his efforts to avoid the collision, the officer's motorcycle struck the side of the pickup, throwing him from the bike. The officer sustained serious injuries to his arms and face. Emergency personnel immediately rendered aid, and the officer was airlifted to a local hospital, where he is currently listed in serious but stable condition.
The Hanford Police Department would like to thank the responding officers, emergency medical personnel, and community members who provided assistance. Our thoughts are with the officer and his family as he begins his recovery.
