CANADIAN COUNTY, Okla.—Law enforcement authorities are investigating the cause of a crash that injured an Oklahoma State Trooper and a driver during a traffic stop.
On Wednesday, the patrol released dash camera video from the incident when Trooper Jesse Gregory #362 was struck by a driver on Interstate 40 at Cimarron Road. He was speaking to the driver of his traffic stop when another vehicle ran into them.
The Patrol explains they released this video as a graphic reminder of the consequences of distracted or impaired driving and the importance of the slow down, move over law.
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol is in the middle of a distracted driving emphasis right now in honor of Trooper Nicholas Dees, who lost his life in the line of duty after being struck by a distracted driver.
Fortunately, Trooper Gregory is expected to be ok. In fact, all three people involved in this incident were treated and released.
