MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A Brookfield police officer was injured after being struck by a vehicle late Wednesday, Feb. 5, while investigating a crash on northbound Moorland Road.
The crash reportedly took place while police were investigating an initial crash near I-94. A vehicle exiting from westbound I-94 lost control and struck the officer.
Officials says that the officer is a two-year veteran of the department and was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver, a 20-year-old Brookfield man, reportedly fled on foot but was taken into custody. The Brookfield Police Department is referring felony charges to the Waukesha County district attorney’s office. The driver is being held in custody on unrelated warrants.
The Wisconsin State Patrol is handling the crash investigation.
