Trooper Jesse Gregory was speaking with a motorist through the passenger side window of an SUV, when SUV vehicle slammed into the stopped vehicle sending the trooper and wreckage from the crash flying.
Trooper Gregory and both motorists were treated and released at a local hospital.
OHP said it released the video to remind motorists to concentrate on their driving and to slow down and move over.
“We are in the middle of a distracted driving emphasis right now in honor of Trooper Nicholas Dees, who lost his life (in 2015) in the line of duty after being struck by a distracted driver,” OHP said.
OHP is investigating the crash.
