Trooper’s Cruiser Hit by Semi on Spokane I-90 Off-Ramp After Driver Tries to Squeeze By on the Right
SPOKANE, WASHINGTON — A Washington State Patrol vehicle was struck by a semi-truck Thursday at the I-90 to U.S. 195 off-ramp, after a trooper was already on scene investigating a separate crash.
WSP said the trooper was working a one-car collision on the off-ramp when the area became partially blocked. As the trooper handled the investigation, a semi-truck attempted to pass the patrol car on the right, and WSP said driver inattention led to the semi colliding with the patrol unit.
Officials said no injuries were reported.
The Washington State Department of Transportation later confirmed the crash scene has cleared, and the ramp/roadway has reopened.
