According to the sheriff's office, nine-year veteran Mark Demmer was on traffic duty around 11 a.m. Nov. 13 in the 9800-block of Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, near McCormick's Fish House & Bar, when a gray 2005 Volvo XC90 pulled out and collided with his patrol motorcycle.

Investigators do not believe impairment was a factor, though the woman was reportedly cited for failing to yield.
