King George County, Va. –– A Virginia State Trooper was killed tonight after his police cruiser collided with an oncoming car.
The trooper was traveling on Kings Highway (Va. 3) west in King George County at 6:45 p.m. responding for a call for assistance when he entered an intersection and collided with a Hyundai Elantra.
The force of the impact caused the trooper’s Ford Crown Victoria collided with a light pole, split in half, and the front end continued rolling into a parking lot and collided with three parked cars, said Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller.
The trooper died on the scene, and officials are still working to identify the victim’s next of kin.
The driver and passenger of the Hyundai suffered injuries that did not appear to be life threatening, said Geller. Both were taken to Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg.
An accident reconstruction team was on the scene late Friday investigating the crash, Geller added.
