Two Las Vegas deputy marshals on motorcycles were struck and injured in a multi-vehicle crash Wednesday morning in central Las Vegas.

Las Vegas police said the deputy marshals were on their bikes when they were struck at Rancho Drive and West Palomino Lane at 9:19 a.m. The crash also involved a white Jeep and a blue Hyundai Sonata.

“One citizen and the two city marshals were transported to University Medical Center trauma with non life-threatening injuries,” Las Vegas police said in a news release.
