A Michigan State Police trooper was investigating a crash on the right shoulder of the freeway and had parked his vehicle with its emergency lights on, according to authorities.
Another driver was going too fast for the weather conditions, lost control of their vehicle, and struck the empty patrol car, officials said.
Nobody was injured.
“Again, another case of bad driving behaviors causing another crash,” MSP Lt. Mike Shaw said. “We always know it’s the day after the storm where drivers overestimate their driving abilities that are the most dangerous for us. Just slow down.”
