WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Three Virginia State Troopers were struck by cars in a twelve-hour period on Tuesday.

"Not common to have two in one day, but it is common to have a trooper or another law enforcement officer struck while working on the side of the highway," Virginia State Police Sergeant Steven Mittendorff explained.

The troopers involved in the accidents all suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to Virginia State Police.

The first accident occurred at about 3:30 a.m. along the southbound lanes of I-95 near the 152 mile marker in Prince William County, police said.

Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County

Virginia state trooper killed in crash in King George County
 June 25, 2011

KING GEORGE, VA
A Virginia state trooper died in a car accident that injured two other people Friday night.

Investigators say the crash happened about 6:45 p.m. in the James Madison section of King George County, about 60 miles northeast of Richmond.

Police say the trooper was responding to a call for assistance, when his patrol car collided with another car at the intersection of Route 3 and Madison Drive. Investigators say the impact forced the trooper's car off the road and into a light pole, splitting the cruiser in half.

Investigators say the front end of the squad car then continued into a nearby parking lot, where it struck three parked cars before coming to a stop.

The trooper died on the scene. Police have not yet released his name. The driver and passenger in the other car were taken to Mary Washington Hospital with minor injuries.

The Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team is assisting with the investigation of the crash.~~~
