TOLEDO, Ohio — An Ohio Highway Patrol trooper is hospitalized Friday after falling from an I-75 overpass while trying to stop a fleeing motorist in North Toledo.
Trooper Brian Mull, who has served about five years with the patrol, is recovering from broken bones and some bruising, Toledo post commander Lt. Shaun Robinson said.
The trooper about 4 a.m. on I-475 attempted to stop a vehicle wanted by Blissfield police. The car, which had its headlights off, continued onto I-75 northbound. It weaved through a construction zone and struck a trooper’s car, according to the patrol.
Lieutenant Robinson said the man then entered the median near Stickney Avenue and ran from his car. When Trooper Mull tried arresting him, both men fell onto Stickney Avenue.
They are in treatment at Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center. The lieutenant said he did not know the suspect’s name or condition.
