The Glendale Police Department says a pedestrian has possible life threatening injuries after being hit by a motorcycle officer in the area of Glendale and 99th avenues.

Police say the officer was also transported, but is in stable condition. 

The crash happened just before 3:30 a.m.

Police have said the pedestrian was walking in the roadway in a dark area of the road, and are calling the crash “a truly unfortunate accident.”

Police say speed and impairment are not factors.

The roadway is closed in the area but is expected to be open before game traffic for the Arizona Cardinals game Sunday afternoon.
