BEAVER COUNTY, Utah — A pair of law enforcement officers were at the scene of one car crash on Interstate 15 Tuesday afternoon when they were hit by another vehicle.
A Utah Highway Patrol trooper was on the side of northbound I-15 in Beaver County, in between Beaver and Cove Fort, along with a county sheriff's deputy. UHP said a passing vehicle then hit both the deputy and the trooper.
The deputy suffered a broken arm and other minor injuries, and the trooper is "okay," a UHP spokesperson said. Officials were not aware of any injuries to the driver.
As of 4:30 p.m., the left northbound lane was blocked, causing some traffic backup.
