BEDFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - A state trooper and another driver were taken to the hospital Thursday after a cruiser was rear-ended on Route 3 in Bedford.
State police say the trooper had pulled a Nissan Altima over in the break-down lane on the westbound side of the highway when a Honda CRV SUV struck his cruiser from behind around 2:30 p.m.
The trooper was inside his cruiser when it was hit and the impact of the crash sent it careening into the right travel lane. The SUV, driven by a 64-year-old Wilmington woman, then came to a crashing halt against the Altima.
Both were taken to Lahey Hospital in Burlington with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
The 24-year-old driver of the Altima was not hurt.
No further details were released.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
