A Federal Way police officer sustained a serious leg injury from a motorcycle collision on Tuesday afternoon.

Trooper Rick Johnson with Washington State Patrol said the officer, who was riding a motorcycle, was responding to a burglary on 16th Avenue South. As he approached a red light with his sirens on, he was struck by a vehicle traveling eastboound just before 4:30 p.m.

Cathy Schrock, a Federal Way police spokeswoman, said both lanes of 16th Avenue South were closed from South 344th Street to South 348th Street as the scene was investigated by Washington State Patrol.

“From all of us at the Federal Way Police Department, thank you for your kind words and support of our motorcycle officer Grant Bassett that was seriously injured yesterday in a collision,” Schrock wrote in an email to the community on Wednesday. “He is surrounded by his relatives and police family. We are hopeful for a full recovery.”

It is unknown at this time whether the driver who struck the officer is considered liable or not.
