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.
