Metro officer injured in collision with truck

Neither of the motorcycle officers involved in a 2:30 p.m. accident today have life-threatening injuries, Las Vegas police confirmed.

Both officers, brothers who are in the department's traffic bureau, are conscious and responsive, spokesman Jacinto Rivera said. One of the officers was taken to University Medical Center reporting a head injury. The other was transported as a precaution.

The officers were traveling north on Nellis Boulevard at Harris Avenue, near Bonanza Road, when the female driver of a southbound pickup truck lost control of the vehicle, crossed over the median and struck at least one of the officers, Rivera said. Investigators believe the accident was weather-related.
