LYNWOOD, CA (June 4, 2019) – A motorcycle officer suffered injuries in a hit-and-run crash on the 105 Freeway near the 710 Freeway Monday morning.
 
According to the California Highway Patrol, the incident happened around 5:30 a.m. in the carpool lane. A report of an officer down in the westbound lane of the 105 Freeway drew a large police response.
 
As soon as paramedics arrived, crews transported the Los Angeles Police Department Officer to St. Francis Hospital in an unknown condition. Meanwhile, officials closed the carpool lane for nearly two hours due to clean up and investigations.
