GROVELAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Michigan State Police trooper is recovering in the hospital after a crash caused serious injuries on Tuesday.
MSP says the trooper was involved in a crash on Dixie Highway around 7:00 a.m.
Later, MSP said the trooper was heading south on Dixie Highway when a pick-up truck tried to pass a salt truck driving north. The pick-up driver lost control, crossed over all lanes of traffic, and rammed the trooper's patrol car.
The trooper was taken to a nearby hospital with hip and leg injuries, but was expected to be released soon after.
The at-fault driver was also injured and hospitalized, according to MSP.
While the roadway is open again, MSP says the investigation is still ongoing.
