Ohio: Trooper Puts Crash Injuries in Rearview

Ohio Highway Patrol Trooper Andrew Clouser was checking on occupants of a vehicle involved in one of a series of crashes on the Ohio Turnpike near Castalia during a blinding snowstorm last winter when his world suddenly went black. When Trooper Clouser came to — he thinks it was just 10 or 20 seconds later — he was trapped under his cruiser and the van was stopped next to it. He couldn’t feel his right leg, and breathing was painful.

Now, after more than 10 months of recovery and rehabilitation, Trooper Clouser is eager to go back out on patrol from the Milan post, where he has been assigned since becoming an Ohio state trooper in 2013. Right now, he estimates his return is Feb. 23, but his bottom-line goal is March 12, the massive crash’s anniversary
