A Washington State Patrol (WSP) trooper suffered injuries after being struck by another driver Monday evening.
The trooper was inside their vehicle in Puyallup, on SR 512 at Canyon Road, when the crash occurred.
“Following too closely is the main cause of this collision,” WSP Trooper Kameron Watts said. “Four cars total are involved.”
The trooper impacted by the crash suffered only minor injuries. No other injuries were reported.
Eastbound SR 512 at Canyon Road was entirely blocked due to the collision.
This is the second crash involving a WSP trooper on SR 512 at Canyon Road in the span of two weeks. Another trooper was hit on Dec. 21 while helping another driver. They, too, had non-life-threatening injuries.
