Arizona Trooper Injured in DUI Crash on I-10, Buckeye

On April 2, 2025, an Arizona state trooper was hospitalized following a collision with a truck driven by a suspected intoxicated driver on Interstate 10 in Buckeye. The trooper, completing paperwork from an earlier non-injury incident, was parked on the highway shoulder when a Dodge Ram 3500 towing a trailer veered off the road and struck the trooper's vehicle at significant speed, pushing it about 60 feet. The trooper sustained possible head injuries and is undergoing evaluation, though initial reports suggest the injuries are not life-threatening. The driver of the truck, uninjured in the crash, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and faces possible DUI and related felony charges. The Arizona Department of Public Safety is handling the investigation, with details on the driver's identity yet to be disclosed.
