ARLINGTON, Wyo. (AP) - The Wyoming Highway Patrol says a trooper suffered minor injuries when his patrol car was struck in the median of Interstate 80 while he was investigating a previous crash.
The patrol says a pickup towing a trailer lost control Monday and struck Trooper Kaycee Shroyer’s car about 1.5 miles east of the Arlington interchange.

The patrol says Shroyer was in his patrol car parked off the pavement with his emergency lights on.
Authorities say 24-year-old Brian P. Stockham of Boulder, Colo., was driving the pickup. He wasn’t injured.
He was issued a citation on charges of speed too fast for conditions and transporting a hazardous material without required placards. The patrol says the Stockham’s trailer contained compressed nitrogen and oxygen.
