A Kansas City Police Department officer has been released from the hospital after being hit by an ATV driver performing a wheelie Saturday night.
“Last night, a reckless ATV driver caused injuries to a Kansas City police officer, mayhem on our streets, and continued to display the lawlessness that too many dirt bike, stunt drivers, ATV users, racers, and others display on streets in dense areas of our city. We expect our officer to recover and pray he can return to normal service soon,” said Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.
The incident occurred when the officer tried to deploy tire deflation devices during a confrontation with an ATV driver.
The ATV driver evaded the devices and struck the officer. The KCPD officer received treatment at a nearby hospital for a severe head injury.
No arrests have been made.
