A trooper with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol was involved in a major accident when a vehicle struck a car during a traffic stop near Interstate-40.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol, in a post on Facebook , said that Trooper Jesse Gregory was speaking to a driver during a traffic stop last Thursday when another vehicle hit them.
Dashcam footage from the incident shows the trooper conducting a traffic stop when another vehicle comes from behind and smashes into the stationary car throwing the officer onto the grass way on the side. Both vehicles were also heavily damaged.
Fortunately, all three people in the accident, including Trooper Gregory, survived and are expected to be okay. They were all “treated and released,” said the highway department. It is not yet clear if the vehicle that crashed was over speeding.
