State police said the state trooper had responded to a prior crash and was blocking the left lane when the driver of a red Subaru lost control and hit the trooper’s cruiser, sending it into the other vehicle, which was unoccupied.

The state trooper was taken to the hospital to be treated for minor injuries after the crash.

The driver who hit the state police vehicle was cited for traveling too fast for the conditions, failure to maintain lane, and failure to move over.
