A Long Beach motorcycle police officer was knocked off his motorcycle and injured after a Toyota Corolla crashed into him on the westbound 91 freeway, according to a news report.
The California Highway Patrol said that the motorcycle officer was splitting lanes between the carpool lane and the fast lane on westbound 91 freeway when the driver of a Toyota Corolla crossed the double yellow lines from the carpool lane and struck the officer, who was traveling at an estimated 55 mph.
The crash ejected the officer from his motorcycle and into the car pool lane. The unidentified officer suffered injuries to his right arm and was taken to UCI Medical Center for treatment.
