Trooper Vehicle Struck Near Laramie

Twice in a week... a Wyoming Highway Patrol vehicle was hit again while it was parked on the side of the road. On Wednesday, a trooper working on a single vehicle crash on I-80, was sitting on the side of the road in his vehicle with the lights on. The driver of a Ford F-250 traveling westbound on I-80 lost control, striking the passenger side of the 2010 Dodge Charger patrol vehicle. Neither the trooper nor the driver were seriously injured. However, the troopers vehicle may be a total loss. The crash occurred approximately seven miles east of Laramie on the westbound side just shortly after 10:00 a.m. Last Friday evening a trooper was conducting a traffic stop and standing at the driver's door on Highway 220, just south of Casper, when a vehcile ran into the driver's side rear of the patrol car. The trooper was narrowly missed when that vehicle spun out of control.
