NOVI, Mich. (WWJ) -- A Michigan State Police trooper has been released from the hopsital after suffering injuries when another car spun out of control and slammed into the parked patrol car on Tuesday.
State police said troopers responded to the scene along I-696 near Novi shortly before 1:30 p.m., saying a sergeant was stationary doing paperwork in the center median when a blue Audi spun out of control and slammed into the patrol car.
