A motorcycle officer suffered minor injuries Tuesday in a collision with a car at a Clairemont-area intersection.

The crash at Balboa and Genesee avenues occurred about 1:40 p.m., according to San Diego police.

Medics took the officer to Sharp Memorial Hospital for evaluation of complaints of back pain, SDPD public-affairs Officer Billy Hernandez said.

No other injuries were reported.

The wreck left traffic lanes blocked at the road crossing into the mid- afternoon, Hernandez said.
