A trooper with the Kentucky State Police was investigating an accident on the Western Kentucky Parkway when he had to then investigate a second collision, this time involving his own vehicle.
The KSP says Trooper Scott Wheatley was outside his cruiser on the westbound side of the Western Kentucky Parkway near mile marker 113 in Grayson County Wednesday to investigate a single-vehicle injury collision. While his car was parked in the emergency lane with its emergency lights activated, the cruiser was struck by a semi-tractor trailer also traveling west on the parkway.
The semi suffered minor damage, while the cruiser sustained significant damage. Neither Trooper Wheatley or the semi driver were injured, and traffic on the parkway was not impacted.
