The officer was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield after he was struck near Western Avenue and Highland Avenue in Westfield, Western Mass News reports. Westfield Police said the officer was  "conscious and speaking" when he was transported. 

"As the New England road work season bears down upon us, we want to remind everyone to stay vigilant when entering into the work area," WPD continued. "We know that sometimes it can get confusing, but stay alert and travel slowly while navigating the areas, so that you, the workers and officers can return to their families, in the same condition they arrived in."
