A U.S. Secret Service Police motorcycle officer was critically injured early on November 10 in Washington, D.C., after a collision with an SUV near the National Zoo.
The Metropolitan Police Department said officers responded at about 6 a.m. to the intersection of Connecticut Avenue and Devonshire Place Northwest, in the 3100 block of Connecticut Avenue. Officers found the motorcyclist unconscious but breathing and determined he had been struck by an SUV, which remained at the scene. The Secret Service said the SUV driver was also taken to a hospital for evaluation and treatment.
In a statement, the Secret Service confirmed the motorcycle officer was critically injured and was rendered aid at the scene; both he and the other driver were transported to local hospitals. The agency did not say whether the officer was on duty at the time. The police department's Major Crash Investigations Unit is leading the investigation into the cause of the crash.
