On Monday night there was a hit and run accident which sent a North Las Vegas police officer to the hospital.
According to North Las Vegas police, the accident happened shortly after 8.30 p.m. on Monday on the southbound Interstate 15. The officer was approaching the Washington Avenue off ramp in the right travel lane, and a car cut him off. The officer braked hard and the bike spun and fell over resulting in the officer being ejected.
Luckily Las Vegas radio DJ and hip hop artist Miles Low saw the accident, stopped traffic, and tried to get the officer to remain calm. His actions prevented the officer from being run over by another vehicle.
The driver of the car stopped, but only for a second before speeding away. The vehicle is described as a four door sedan, which is possibly green.
The 45 year old officer was taken to University Medical Center with non life threatening injuries and was expected to be released within a day or two.
