Following the collision, the Camry continued traveling eastbound on Highway 36. A second Colorado State Patrol trooper performed a Tactical Vehicle Intervention (TVI) to safely bring the fleeing vehicle to a stop.

The trooper and the highway worker involved were both taken to a local hospital, where they were assessed for injuries and later released.
This incident remains under active investigation by the Colorado State Patrol.
All Parties Considered Innocent Until Proven Guilty in a Court of Law.
Update:
The trooper who was involved in the struck-by incident on Highway 36 near Pecos Street is Trooper Miguel Jeronimo. He has been with the Colorado State Patrol since December 2018. He has been released from the hospital with minor injuries.
