The accident occurred shortly before 8 a.m. when a Toyota Camry hit the officer at 5th Street and Stanford Avenue and then hit a pole, said LAPD Sgt. Gary Cantu, who was at the scene.
The Camry driver was driving south on Stanford Avenue when it collided with the motorcycle officer who was traveling west on 5th Street, Cantu said. It was not immediately clear who was at fault, he said.
Cantu said that the officer was treated by Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics and taken to a hospital. The extent of the officer's injuries was not immediately known, but he was conscious and breathing when paramedics arrived.
The driver remained at the scene and was being questioned by officers.
The street corner is blocked off for the investigation this morning, said LAPD spokeswoman Sgt. Ruby Malachi.
