Michigan State Police suspect the person behind the wheel of the SUV was driving impaired.

According to MSP, the trooper standing on the highway during the crash suffered no broken bones despite being knocked down against the road surface. He might incredibly escape the crash with a torn tendon and road rage from being pulled across the pavement.
