Thank God they hit you in the back - You were a lucky young lady Angela

Hi Henry -
Here are a couple pictures of my totaled cruiser.  This is what happens when operators are not paying attention and exercising extra caution during poor weather conditions.  It's also a good public service announcement on the importance of seatbelts.  Thank you and stay safe!

OMG ... can you imagine hitting a State Troopers Car?  Now that called having a Bad Day!  Does anyone know what type of vehicle it was that hit this car?  I bet it was a 4 wheel drive truck or SUV.  Am I wrong?

Joseph Dawson, 46, of Burlington, was traveling north in his 1998 GMC truck and failed to slow down as he approached the scene and merged with traffic, the troopers said.

It's also a good public service announcement not to snowboard on the interstate.

Trooper Baker, I was sooooo happy to read "No injuries".
