SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper
who was hit by a vehicle is expected to be back at work in a few
weeks.
Lyndsey Dubbelde (LYN'-zee DUB'-uhl-dee) was checking a report
of boxes scattered on Interstate 29. She was parked on the shoulder
with her emergency lights on. Another motorist hit her car just as
she was getting out.
Highway Patrol Capt. Kevin Joffer says Dubbelde should be back
at work in about two weeks. He says sore from the accident, but
grateful it wasn't more serious.
Dubbelde has been a South Dakota Highway Patrol trooper since
2007.
The accident happened Friday near the Interstate 29 Dell Rapids
exit, about 20 miles north of Sioux Falls. The other motorist was
cited for reckless driving.
