KANSAS CITY, Mo. — One of the Kansas City, Missouri, police officers who was injured in a crash overnight Sunday has a long road to recovery, the department said Thursday.
The crash unfolded near Holmes Road and East 75th Street at about 11:12 p.m. The crash left two officers injured.
One of the officers was released from the hospital that night, according to police.
The second officer, who suffered serious injuries in the crash, remained in the hospital until Wednesday. He is expected to be OK, but his recovery will be lengthy.
KCPD said the officer graduated from the academy a year ago and has been serving in the department's Metro Patrol Division since.
The department said just last week, the two officers arrested a domestic violence assault suspect and protected a victim from further injury.
