Glendale motorcycle officer injures ankle in crash

Glendale motorcycle officer struck by car
A Glendale police motorcycle officer suffered a dislocated ankle Wednesday morning after an 18-year-old female motorist struck him as he responded to another collision, officials said.

Officer Matt Bolton was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital after his motorcycle slammed into the Mercedes-Benz sedan at 7:17 a.m. in the 400 block of Lexington Drive, Glendale Police Sgt. Tom Lorenz told the Glendale News-Press.

The unidentified driver of the car was not injured.

Lorenz said Bolton was "in good spirits."

Bolton was riding his motorcycle west on Lexington Drive to a crash involving a bicyclist when the Mercedes, which was heading east, suddenly turned in front of him, Lorenz said.
