MSP says the trooper and the female driver were both taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.
"Due to the amount of crashes and traffic on the roads at that time of day, additional troopers had to be called in and at times there were over twenty crashes in the district due to people driving too fast for conditions. Please Stay Home and Stay Safe. Travel only when needed," MSP tweeted.
