Trooper, cop injured in I-40 wreck

A Monday morning crash sent two law enforcement officers, including Tennessee Highway Patrol Trooper Fidencio Medina, to a pair of hospitals in Nashville.

The crash occurred shortly after 7 a.m. on Interstate 40 westbound near mile marker 192 in Davidson County.

The preliminary investigation indicates Trooper Medina, who is assigned to Cheatham County, was responding to a non-injury, single-vehicle crash, when a 2004 Chevy Silverado, driven by Anthony Gene Baker Jr., lost control and collided into his patrol car, according to the THP.

The impact pushed the trooper’s car into a Metro Police Department patrol unit, which had arrived on scene to take over the initial property crash investigation.

Standing outside of his vehicle, Trooper Medina was discussing the crash with Metro Officer Cesar Castillo, who had not yet exited his patrol car, when the westbound pickup struck the vehicles, the THP reported.

Medina suffered a broken leg, four broken ribs, as well as a collapsed lung. He was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center and was scheduled to undergo surgery Monday afternoon.

Metro officer Cesar Castillo, who is assigned to the West Precinct, was taken to Saint Thomas Hospital for a non-critical back injury.

Baker, 35, of New Johnsonville, was not cited.
