THE DALLES, Ore. (AP) - The driver of a minivan on Interstate 84 fell asleep and veered off the freeway. If that wasn't bad enough, the driven then slammed into a parked Oregon State Police car injuring two troopers and three in the van.
The troopers were parked in a gravel emergency turnaround monitoring traffic Saturday afternoon just east of The Dalles, when the minivan veered into the center median, went airborne and hit the back of the patrol car.
Senior Trooper Andrew Vanderwerf and Recruit Trooper Kent Arbon were treated for minor injuries at Mid Columbia Medical Center in The Dalles.
The driver of the van, Lith Tuy of Salem, and his two passengers were taken to the same hospital and later released.
