An Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper suffered minor injuries after their cruiser was hit by an impaired driver Saturday in Montgomery County.

The trooper has since returned to work, Sgt. Christina Hayes said.

The crash took place around 10:56 p.m. on Turner Road at Wolf Road at the edge of Harrison Twp. and Trotwood.

The driver was taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening injuries, Hayes said. Charges are pending an investigation.

From Aug. 29 to Saturday, troopers initiated 245 stops, with 94 due to speed and 13 due to OVI, according to OSHP.

Troopers also responded to 122 crashes, with 35 of them resulting in injuries, and made four felony arrests.

On Friday, OSHP Aviation helped Dayton police track and apprehend a murder suspect, according to the patrol’s report.

Dayton police confirmed Tuesday they arrested and detained a suspect in a deadly shooting at a Hepburn Avenue apartment complex that took place on Friday, but it is not clear if this is the arrest OSHP assisted in.
