Park police requested the helicopter to rescue a motorcycle officer who'd crashed on Maine Avenue, WJLA said. A US Park Police pilot had no choice but to land on I-395 around 6:30 p.m. to whisk the officer away to a nearby hospital for treatment.

The impromptu landing caused a traffic back up and cars stopped on the other side of the interstate to watch this rare sight. One Twitter user videoed the scene to ask what was going on.

Police have not released any updates on the officer's condition. There were no other cars involved in the crash.
