“ISP Troopers throughout the state risk their lives daily to keep our roadways safe. These crashes are completely preventable, and I am asking the public to avoid putting the lives of others at risk by making responsible choices when behind the wheel. Always drive sober and move over when you approach a stationary vehicle on the side of the road.” – Commander Captain Jason Dickey
