A Washington State Patrol trooper was injured after his patrol car was rear-ended by another vehicle. According to a news report in the Bellingham Herald, the trooper was driving a Dodge Charger on East Badger Road. As he prepared to make a U-turn from the shoulder of the road, a 2008 Chevy Malibu struck the left rear wheel of the patrol car. The trooper suffered neck and back injuries and was transported to a local hospital. The woman may have also sustained back injuries. An investigation is underway in order to determine who was at fault. It would benefit the victim of this accident to contact a Tacoma Personal Injury Lawyer to see if they should seek compensation for their damages.
