A California Highway Patrol officer is recovering from injuries after crahsing his motorcycle while escorting President Obama to LAX airport along the 405 freeway in Los Angeles earlier this morning.
The crash — thankfully — looks worse than it is:

The officer somehow only sustained “minor injuries”:

Good news.
Obama then traveled to Palm Springs for golf — naturally — and a summit with leaders from Southeast Asia:
