A police motorcycle and garbage truck collided Thursday morning, snarling traffic on two of Ogden Avenue’s four lanes between Aurora and Jefferson Avenues, closing them for 2 1/2 hours as authorities investigated.
Police said the motorcycle officer, who was treated and released at Edward Hospital, was headed east on Ogden about 9 a.m. when the garbage truck tried to turn right into a private driveway and collided with the officer, said Lt. Vince Gortner. The garbage truck driver was not injured.
No tickets have been issued as police continue to investigate, Gortner said.
