Police said the trooper was on I-355 just south of Ogden Avenue in Lisle when a second vehicle struck the squad car while changing lanes. The trooper then lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a retaining wall, said Illinois State Police Sgt. Julio Serrano.
The trooper suffered a minor head injury and general soreness, but was treated and released from Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Serrano said.
