CINNAMINSON, N.J. — A New Jersey State trooper is under investigation after his cruiser collided with another vehicle, CBS Philly reported.

Dash cam footage from responding officer’s cruiser shows the moments after Sgt. Michael Roadside rear ended a driver at a rest stop.

“I am not drunk...you ok? Yeah, I had prostate surgery, I’m on anesthesia right now,” Roadside said in the video.

Roadside had a blood alcohol level that was twice the legal limit. Opened alcohol containers were also found inside the patrol vehicle.

The trooper is a 28-year veteran of the force.
