The accident occurred as a second state trooper was in pursuit of a vehicle that was suspected to have been involved in a shooting incident on I-81 in Shenandoah County at 8:15 p.m. A Virginia State Police spokesperson said today that the trooper whose vehicle was struck as it pulled out from the crossover at the 234 mile marker did not in fact have his emergency lights and siren activated, as had been previously reported in a press statement issued on Sunday.Ī Virginia state trooper and the driver and passenger in a Kia Sorento were transported to Augusta Health Saturday night for treatment of serious injuries after a collision on Interstate 81 in Augusta County.
