The tractor trailer approaching from behind lost control and hit the trooper who was sitting in his cruiser at the time. The extent of the troopers’ injuries were unknown but rescue workers were in the process of extricating him from his vehicle.
The reporter on the scene said it appeared the injured trooper was conscious and speaking with rescue workers.
