FAST FACTS: A CPD cruiser, a motorcycle and several other vehicles were involved in an injury accident close to 8 a.m. Friday on S.R. 161 and Cleveland Avenue. Roads reopened to traffic at 11 a.m. The motorcyclist was transported to an area hospital. Other vehicles were involved as well. The crash happened around 7:50 a.m. Friday on the city's Northeast Side. Northbound Cleveland Avenue was closed at the service road south of 161. Drivers could not turn onto eastbound 161 from Cleveland Avenue. Road restrictions were lifted at 11 a.m. NBC 4's Tacoma Newsome was on the accident scene. According to one witness: A car traveling north on Cleveland Avenue was hit from behind by another driver. The driver who committed the offense then drove around the vehicle he hit to try to flee the accident. The driver who was hit got out and flagged down an officer. The female officer saw the driver and turns on her lights (apparently no siren) and started to travel south on Cleveland through the red light. At the exact same time, a motorcyclist was traveling east on 161 or Dublin-Granville Road (through the green light). The officer and the motorcyclist don't see one another, and the officer hit the motorcycle from behind and caused the bike to hit maybe two other cars. The motorcyclist was transported to a local hospital. Again, Newsome reported this was all per one witness. Stay tuned to NBC 4 and refresh nbc4i.com for more information on this developing story.
