The Trooper, Craig Foglia, who was struck is a 14 year veteran who is in critical condition at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, the Level I Trauma Center for the area. His life-threating injuries are going to make for a very difficult recovery. He was sitting in his vehicle during a traffic stop, when a Ford F-150 slammed into him at high speed. The portion of I-86 is described as open with good sight lines, weather was clear. No skid marks from the pickup.  The Charger, pictured below, did what it was supposed to do and protected the trooper as best as possible as it appears, and I guess would have been a different story had he been outside of his vehicle at the time.
