A state trooper rolled a patrol cruiser on eastbound Interstate 90 early Monday east of Issaquah amid foggy and icy conditions.
The incident occurred at about 3 a.m. as Trooper Casey Myers, 28, neared the end of his shift and hit a patch of black ice. The patrol cruiser veered off the roadway and then rolled into a roadside embankment.
The six-year veteran trooper did not sustain injuries in the crash, but he later checked into Overlake Hospital Medical Center in Bellevue as a precaution.
The state Department of Transportation also treated roads to combat ice, but crews responded to ice-related crashes on Eastside roads.
Officials used the incident as a reminder to motorists to use caution on icy roads.
