SALT LAKE CITY — Three people including a UHP trooper have minor injuries after a car struck the trooper who was issuing a citation for a vehicle they had pulled over.
According to Sgt. Cameron Roden with UHP, the trooper initially made a traffic stop on Interstate 215 near 900 West. The trooper was stopped on the right shoulder behind the car he had pulled over.
As he was sitting in his car, working on the citation, a vehicle “drifted off and hit the back of his patrol car.”
That hit pushed him into the back of the car he had just pulled over.
The trooper and other two drivers had minor injuries.
