A Puerto Rico police officer assigned to protect the U.S. territory's governor has accidentally run over two American tourists, authorities said Friday.
Police said agent Orlando Rodriguez hit the elderly couple with a Harley Davidson motorcycle late Thursday as they crossed a poorly lit street in the capital of San Juan. Authorities identified the couple as 78-year-old Robert Hedley and 64-year-old Harriet Power from Pennsylvania. Their hometown was not immediately known, AP reported.
Officers said Hardley has a hip fracture and his wife a pelvis fracture. Both also have head injuries but are expected to recover.
Authorities say Rodriguez tested negative for alcohol in a breathalyzer test.
