A Philadelphia police officer riding his police-issued dirt bike injured his leg during a crash on the busy Vine Street Expressway Friday morning.
The officer was riding on I-676 east near 21st Street around 9:05 a.m. when he came in contact with a vehicle, Philadelphia police said.
The 16th District officer was taken to the hospital for observation. Police didn’t reveal the extent of the leg injury.
A fire truck along with police officers could be seen blocking the left-hand lanes of I-676 as they investigated the crash.
An SUV was stopped on the other side of the 21st Street overpass. Police didn’t say if that vehicle was involved.
