Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Hit by Vehicle for 2nd Time in Less Than a Year

A Utah Highway Patrol trooper was injured Friday after a vehicle crashed into his parked patrol car — the second time he has been hit in less than a year. Trooper Brandon Whitehead had just completed a traffic stop and was finishing paperwork in his car on the right side of northbound I-15 just south of Ogden when the accident occurred around 1:30 a.m., Weber County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Klint Anderson said. A vehicle traveling north apparently drifted off the side of the road, hitting the back of the trooper's vehicle and causing extensive damage.
