A pickup truck lost control and slammed into a Utah Highway Patrol car parked on the side of Interstate 215 early Friday, leaving the trooper and a passenger of the truck with minor injuries.
Just after 6 a.m., Trooper Dale Talbot was investigating a single-car crash on I-215 heading north where it passes over 700 North, UHP reported. He was parked in the left emergency lane with his emergency lights on.
That is when a red pickup truck traveling north lost control, spun out and slammed into the rear of Talbot’s patrol car while he was seated inside, authorities said.
