Third Oregon State Police Patrol Car Hit as Troopers Aid Motorists

An unoccupied Oregon State Police patrol car was damaged today when a tractor-trailer rig slid into it on a ramp to Interstate 205 in Clackamas County. It was the third patrol car struck this week as troopers work at crash scenes or assist motorists during the winter storm, said Lt. Gregg Hastings, a state police spokesman.
