The WSP trooper was on scene to assist with semi truck slideoffs when the pileup began. The trooper’s cruiser was reportedly struck twice as he attempted to keep drivers safe, but many drivers passing through were going too fast for conditions and lost control, adding to the pileup.
Fortunately, no major injuries were reported.
