POSEYVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — An Indiana State Police trooper was injured Saturday morning when a semi sideswiped his patrol car during a traffic stop on I-64 westbound in northern Posey County.
It happened just before 8:40 a.m. Saturday near the 10 mile-marker, which is about 2 miles west of the State Road 165 exit for Poseyville.
The trooper was standing near a semi that had been pulled over when another semi failed to yield and collided with the patrol car. Despite sustaining minor injuries, the trooper managed to pursue the semi and apprehend the driver, Kyle Hohman, at the 8 mile-marker. The trooper was later transported to Deaconess Midtown in Evansville for treatment of minor injuries.
Hohman, 36, from Sandoval, Illinois, was arrested without incident and taken to the Posey County jail. He faces preliminary charges including leaving the scene of a personal injury crash, reckless driving causing injury, and criminal recklessness with a vehicle.
The arresting officer was Sgt. Kylen Compton, with assistance from Master Trooper Adam Davis and Trooper Zack Fulton.
Posey County, with the Ohio and Wabash rivers as borders, is in southwest Indiana.
