Heard them reporting about it all morning, but no info at the time.

I heard the report several hours ago about injury and they took him to Platte Valley here in Brighton. It probably took some time to inform next of kin.

That's awful. It's especially hazardous out there for the state troopers.

Cops/Cop institutions need to start a safe Cops campaign. There is no excuse for an officer to be any where near traffic, or endangerment.

Use the bull horn, tell the car being pulled over to proceed to a safe(er) place.

Sometime they don't get a choice where they stop. He was helping a disabled motorist when another driver lost control and hit him.

All the most sincere respect to the Trooper and his family, friends, and coworkers. My disdain for shitty, selfish motorists (read general public) is stifled at this point.

Wanted to update with the actual ODMP site.

Corporal Daniel Groves was struck and killed by a vehicle on I-76, near mile marker 47 west of Roggen, during a blizzard.

He was assisting a driver who had slid off the road when another vehicle traveling too fast for conditions also slid off the road and struck him at 11:20 am. Corporal Groves was transported to Platte Valley Medical Center where he succumbed to his injuries a short time later.

Corporal Groves had served with the Colorado State Patrol for 12 years.
