on friday january 7 2022 a minnesota
state trooper was at the scene of a
crash in the twin cities when another
driver struck the trooper's car pushing
it into a third vehicle the trooper was
out of the squad car at the time and
demonstrated some quick footwork and
agility during the incident
mn.video also shows a dot truck was
behind the crash scene to help with
warning and directing traffic its lights
were on and its sign board was activated
but the car passed the truck continued
in the right lane and hit the squad
after checking on the driver officers
worked to move the car which was now
blocking multiple highway lanes the
driver appeared to start to reverse into
a lane of traffic before being stopped
by the troopers throughout the day and
into the next troopers were busy
responding to multiple crashes across
the metro area and across minnesota and
in fact one of those crashes occurred on
the roadway below this bridge deck
minnesota is typically a very safe state
for driving but like much of the united
states has seen a dramatic increase in
risk associated with driving
