Trooper injured after being rear-ended by possible drunk driver on I-70

A state trooper was injured Wednesday night after a driver rear-ended his patrol car on Interstate 70, the Colorado State Patrol announced.

Officials said the collision happened about 4:45 p.m. on I-70 at mile marker 205 near Frisco. The trooper was inside of his vehicle pulled over on the side of the highway when he was hit.

The trooper was taken to a hospital with minor to moderate injuries, officials said. He is expected to be OK.

The driver is not believed to have suffered any injuries. They are currently being investigated for possible DUI.

In Colorado, state law mandates that drivers change lanes if possible to provide a buffer between pulled-over emergency vehicles when their lights are on. It is unclear if the patrol vehicle’s lights were on at the time of the collision.

Failure to change lanes when driving past an emergency vehicle can result in a careless driving citation, a six-point violation in Colorado.
