Minnesota Law Enforcement
A Minnesota State Patrol trooper hit by a suspected drunk driver Saturday night is telling his story of survival. Trooper Allen Thill was one of five emergency responders at the scene of a rollover crash at interstate 494 and 35W. Troopers even closed the ramp to keep the situation as safe as possible, but their precautions were still not enough to stop a drunk driver.
