SEATAC, Wash. —

The Washington State Patrol says one of its troopers was hit by a suspected drunken driver on Interstate 5 Saturday night.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reports the 46-year-old trooper was taken to the hospital with non-serious injuries.

The State Patrol says the trooper was parked on the right shoulder of I-5, responding to reports of a drunken driver, when a 1989 Toyota Corolla struck the rear of his cruiser. The Toyota returned to the highway after the impact, and hit another passing car.

The 44-year-old Seattle man driving the Toyota was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence.
