A Lynnwood police officer on a motorcycle was injured Wednesday when a truck struck him and dragged him some 30 feet, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported.

The officer was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, where he was being treated for a broken collarbone and a broken leg.

The truck was delivering wine to a drug store when it hit the officer on 196th Street in Lynnwood.

"He was caught up in the back wheel well of this truck as it turned right," said Shannon Sessions of the Lynnwood Police Department. "He wasn't run over, but he was caught up in the back wheel well."

On Monday, another Lynnwood police officer was struck by a car in Redmond while riding his motorcycle to work. He suffered a broken leg.
