[From article]
A Cambridge police officer has been placed on administrative leave after allegedly hitting a female bicyclist while off duty and fleeing the scene around 7:49 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of Broadway and Portland Street.
The victim, a 32-year-old Cambridge woman, was discharged from the hospital Monday evening, a day after the crash that left her with non-life-threatening injuries to her back and head, according to Jeremy Warnick, director of communications for the Cambridge Police Department.
Charges, if any, will be determined after an investigation, which includes reconstruction of the crash with the help of the State Police and Middlesex District Attorney's Office, said Warnick. The officer will only be identified if charges are filed against him, like any other case, Warnick said.
There were reportedly multiple witnesses at the scene of the crash. The off-duty cop was caught after one of the witnesses called in his license plate number. He had not turned himself in at the time of the report, so officers went to his home and took away his car as evidence, Warnick said.
The department placed the officer on paid leave, taking away his badge and gun pending a complete investigation, which is expected to be completed this week.
