YAKIMA -- A Yakima police motorcycle officer who was hospitalized after a crash two weeks ago is recuperating.

Yakima Regional Cardiac and Medical Center officials said Officer Darryl Henning, 42, was released earlier this week.

Henning suffered two broken wrists and a fractured pelvis and had his left leg broken in four places after colliding with a 1994 Plymouth Voyager minivan on March 5 near North 24th and Summitview avenues.

Police have told the minivan driver, Yakima Herald-Republic copy editor Tim Kelly, that he will be cited for failing to yield.

Henning's motorcycle had its emergency lights activated; police said he may have been trying to catch up to a car while conducting traffic enforcement. Kelly told police he did not see the bike before pulling onto Summitview.

Henning is an 18-year veteran of the force and one of the department's five active motorcycle police officers.
