Oklahoma Trooper Thrown from Highway During Traffic Stop

Dashcam video from Oklahoma shows a trooper conducting a traffic stop being struck by another vehicle, sending him flying. The trooper miraculously gets up and runs out of frame, while all three people involved in the incident were treated and released. This was not the trooper's first scare this year, as he was also at the scene when a driver crashed into a sheriff's deputy earlier in the month. Investigations into both crashes are ongoing, and the son of the Oklahoma Senate President Pro Tempore was involved in the crash that injured the deputy. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol referenced the 2015 death of Trooper Nicholas Dees in a similar incident, emphasizing the importance of the slow down, move over law.
