"We would like to thank the media and the public for their assistance distributing photos of the motorcycle and helping us to solicit information," said Sgt. Travis Cruise, EPS Major Collisions unit member.
"We received many helpful tips and were able to locate it as a result."
According to police, the investigation into the collision is "ongoing."
An Edmonton police officer needed to be hospitalized the evening of Sept. 14, 2022, after they were hit by a motorcyclist while conducting traffic enforcement near northbound Terwillegar Drive and 37 Avenue. The driver fled the scene.
