The veteran officer of the Renton Police Department injured in a collision Friday was sore, but suffered no significant injuries or broken bones, Renton Police spokesperson Penny Bartley said.

“He will be just fine,” Bartley said.

The officer, Randy Body, has been with Renton Police 19 years. His police motorcycle and a sedan collided Friday at about 12:40 p.m. at the corner of Southwest Seventh Street and Lind Avenue Southwest.

Body was eastbound on Southwest Seventh when the collision occurred with the westbound sedan that was turning left onto Lind Avenue, McClincy said.

Body was treated at Valley Medical Center and released.
