(July 24, 2008)—A Department of Public Safety trooper and the 25-year-old woman whose car he pulled over were injured early Thursday when another vehicle veered off a Central Texas highway and slammed into the stopped vehicles.
KBTX-TV reports it happened just after midnight Thursday south of Highway 6 and FM 159.
Trooper Justin Stohler was in the passenger seat of his patrol car and the driver he stopped, Angie Maratita, 25 of Fort Rucker, Ala., was standing on the side of the road when a northbound car hit the two vehicles, one of which then slammed into Maratita.
She was taken to College Station Medical Center where she was in stable condition.
The trooper was treated and released.
No charges have been filed.
