Guest guest Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Trooper struck and killed by truck on highway MONAHANS, Texas ? A trooper was struck and killed by a pickup truck while he was conducting a traffic stop on westbound Interstate 20, the Department of Public Safety said. Jack Zachary, 32, had two vehicles pulled over on the shoulder Sunday, one was parked behind his patrol vehicle and another in front of it. As he walked away from the vehicle parked behind his, Zachary was hit by a pickup truck heading west on the highway, said Cpl. Kathy Briggs. The collision sent the trooper into the ditch and the truck went on to strike the rear of the patrol car, Briggs said. The driver of the pickup truck, Valdez, 33, stopped and alerted authorities, she said. No charges have been filed. Zachary had worked for DPS since 2004, Briggs said.
