HARLINGEN -- A Harlingen police officer is home recovering from a motorcycle accident.
Authorities said the accident happened on the 1800 block of West Lincoln Street at 4:47 p.m. Tuesday.
Harlingen police said the motorcycle patrol officer was pulling out of the Wal-Mart parking lot when a two-door Chevy hit him.
The officer was transported to the Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen for treatment of minor injuries.
