Luckily, no troopers were seriously injured in the crashes. However, CSP said it serves as a reminder for drivers to move over when they see traffic stops on the side of the road.
Troopers have repeatedly asked drivers to pay attention and move over following the deaths of Troopers Jamie Jursevics in 2015 and Cody Donahue in 2017. Both of those troopers were hit by vehicles on I-25 in Douglas County.
