Tempe Motor Officer Involved in
Vehicle Collision
On
July 2, 2008 at 4:14 p.m., Tempe Motor Officer A. Wozniak was involved in an
injury collision on her marked Tempe Police motorcycle at 8th St. and Gary
while responding to a burglary in progress call. While Officer Wozniak was
eastbound on 8th St., she attempted to pass a slower moving vehicle on the
left. That vehicle, a 2005 Acura 2-door coupe, turned left into the
driveway of a business complex and collided with Officer Wozniak.
Officer Wozniak suffered a broken right forearm and was transported to a
local hospital for surgery. We are pleased to report that she has made
it through surgery exceptionally well and will be released from the hospital
very soon. She is expected to make a full recovery. We are also
pleased to report that the driver of the Acura suffered no injuries and was
released at the scene. Neither excessive speed nor impairment is
suspected in this incident.
No
citations have been issued at this time as
investigation is continuing by the Tempe Police Department Traffic Bureau.
The
suspect in the burglary was apprehended.
