The impact caused significant damage to both vehicles, and emergency responders transported the state trooper and two occupants of the Volkswagen to Hershey Medical Center with suspected serious injuries. No other passengers were involved in the crash.

Authorities continue to investigate the incident, and drivers are reminded to exercise caution and follow the state’s “Move Over” law when approaching emergency response areas.
