Authorities say two Michigan State Police workers escaped serious injury when the patrol car they were sitting in was struck by a car going full speed on a Detroit-area freeway. State police Lt. Michael Shaw said a distracted driver drove onto the left shoulder of Interstate 75 on Thursday afternoon and slammed into the back of the parked police car. The trooper and dispatcher-in-training were taken to a local hospital and the trooper was later released.
