Ohio trooper, driver hit at highway spin-out site on Interstate 70 near Springfield, Ohio

A State Highway Patrol trooper and a driver she was helping after an accident were struck Tuesday when another vehicle lost control on an icy Ohio highway and pushed a cable barrier into them and their vehicles.

The crash happened shortly after midnight along Interstate 70 near Springfield, about 45 miles west of Columbus, as the trooper assisted a 56-year-old Huber Heights woman who had lost control of her vehicle earlier and ended up in the median, the patrol said.

The driver who was hit was flown to a hospital, and an update on her condition wasn't immediately available.

There was no immediate word on any charges.
