Cocoa,FL : Injured Cocoa officer returns to force following hit-and-run crash on January, Wednesday 10th 2018

The last time Officer Rickford Leitch rode his police motorcycle, he crashed into a car that pulled out in front of him and flew over it.

Eight months later, Leitch said he's ready to hop back on a bike. The Cocoa police officer returned to patrol duty this week and is waiting for the department issue him a new motorcycle later this month.

“I walked away from the crash and that’s the most important thing,” Leitch said. “I’ve always been focused on recovering wholly, not having the fear of getting back on the motor, not having the fear of doing this job. It’s a dangerous job and I love it.”
