LINCOLN PARK, MI (AP)— A Michigan State Police officer will be taken off life support after his vehicle was rear-ended last week while parked along I-75 near Detroit.
Daniel Kerstetter worked for the state police Motor Carrier Division, which keeps an eye on trucks and other commercial vehicles.
Kerstetter was inside a patrol car during a traffic stop Friday in Lincoln Park when a Ford Explorer struck the median and smashed into his vehicle. The impact sent Kerstetter’s vehicle into the rear of a semi-trailer.
State Police said Sunday night Kerstetter was not able to overcome injuries and “will be removed from life support pending the completion of his family’s decision to donate his organs.”
