The trooper rushed back to the vehicle to check on the people inside and called for help, as well as asking that the interstate be closed. They suffered minor to moderate injuries.

CSP responded that, "While our trooper attempted to have the driver pull to the right, they ultimately stopped on the wide, left shoulder. Regardless, #MoveOver still applies, and these can some of the minor consequences that can happen if not followed."
