SHORELINE, Wash. — A Seattle police motorcycle officer was injured in a crash on southbound I-5 in Shoreline Wednesday morning.
The crash just south of Northeast 205th Street happened at about 6:15 a.m.
The officer was alert and conscious when medics arrived.
Seattle police says the officer is being transported to an area hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
Lanes in each direction were blocked, and at one point, caused a nearly six-mile backup. The scene has since been cleared.
The Washington State Patrol is investigating the cause of the crash.
