Impaired Driver Crashes into Louisiana State Trooper

Occurred: January 21, 2017 / Hammond, Louisiana, USA

Info from Licensor: "My sister and I were driving down to Baton Rouge as a birthday surprise for our dad. We witnessed the driver of a Dodge Ram pickup truck swerving in and out of the highway lanes. We called Police Dispatch immediately. The truck drove for minutes before hitting the median guard rail. Miles down the road we passed a highway on ramp and a Louisiana State Trooper positioned himself on the shoulder to stop the oncoming pickup truck. The driver of the truck moved from the left lane of the highway to the right shoulder and rammed the awaiting Louisiana State Trooper." Allegedly, the driver was impaired by the use of heroin. Both the driver and Trooper sustained minor injuries in the crash. The driver was arrested and booked on numerous charges."
