MSP officer rear-ended during traffic stop, driver killed

One driver is dead and a Michigan State Police officer is recovering in the hospital after he was hit during a traffic stop on I-75 early Friday morning. The Motor Carrier Officer (MCO) had stopped a semi-truck on I-75 just south of Dix Highway in Lincoln Park when a white Ford Explorer crashed into the back of the MSP car, sandwiching it between the semi-truck. The trooper was inside the MSP SUV when he was hit. He was rescued and is lucky to be alive.
