A Colorado State Patrol trooper was injured early Wednesday morning while trying to catch a wrong-way, suspected drunken driver on Interstate 25, according to the agency.
Troopers responded to the wrong-way driver traveling south on northbound I-25, about 11 miles north of Pueblo, at 3:45 a.m. Wednesday, according to a news release from the Colorado State Patrol.
The woman driving a 2021 Honda sedan turned around before reaching Pueblo, now traveling north on northbound I-25 near milemarker 117, state patrol officials said in the release.
She initially refused to pull over for law enforcement, but troopers eventually stopped the Honda driver at milemarker 123, near the Pikes Peak International Raceway. One trooper attempted to park in front of the Honda to block the driver in, according to the release.
That’s when the driver of a 2001 Hummer crashed into the state patrol vehicle, agency officials said.
Paramedics took the Hummer driver and the trooper to hospitals with unknown injuries.
The Honda driver fled the traffic stop after the crash and was later stopped again by Fountain police officers, state patrol officials said. She was arrested on suspicion of DUI, failing to yield and driving the wrong way.
