Beaver County, UT - On Aug. 13, a pair of law enforcement officers were in their vehicles at the scene of a car crash on Interstate 15 when they were hit by another vehicle.

Utah Highway Patrol said a trooper and a Beaver County Sheriff's deputy were parked on the left shoulder of northbound I-15, between Beaver and Cove Fort, responding to and investigating a prior crash. A passing vehicle went off the road and crashed into both patrol vehicles, which UHP said had their emergency lights on.

Moments later, UHP said a vehicle going in the other direction rolled.

The deputy suffered a broken arm and other minor injuries, and the trooper was uninjured. UHP later said there were several other injuries between the multiple crashes.
